Message from the grave

The poem is a message from the dead to family and friends. The speaker thanks them for the burial but questions the worth of costly coffins, flowers, and false praises after death. They condemn the hypocrisy of mourners who now weep and speak kindly, though in life they showed no love, kindness, or support. The speaker admits past mistakes but laments being judged harshly instead of being given another chance or encouragement. They reject posthumous flattery and insincere tears, asking instead to be left in truth, promising that all will meet again beyond the grave.
