Insensitivity

This is an awfully happy funeral;
No one's wearing black.
The crowd has left their tears at home;
No one's looking back.
They congratulate the relatives
(who of course don't take offense).
They act like merry party-goers;
Where's their common sense?
As the one they're supposed to be mourning,
my patience is wearing thin.
What horrible respect they show for the dead;
they're seated on the coffin!
Now they've been asked to say a few words,
they're singing and cheering with glee.
What horrible respect they show for the dead,
what horrible respect for me.
