Defiance

I entered this world in defiance. My mother refused to abort me, in defiance. In childhood, I refused prejudice fed me, in defiance. At school, I insisted on questioning, in defiance. In battle, I denied my enemy victory, in defiance. And one day, hopefully, I will leave this world In defiance!

It is my wish that one day, when I die, I be buried at sea (after any viable/useful spare parts have been removed and passed-on to suitable recipients). Should sea burial not be financially/legally feasible, it is my wish that, using whatever technology available at the time, whatever nutrients my body may represent should be returned, as efficiently as possible, to the earth - preferably to nurture a tree. Sitting at the base of a Nevers oak that will one day yield casks for Cognac is by far enough immortality for me… - AMB
