Why the Lack of Dirges

Why the lack of dirges
And not headstones
You can't credit urges
Nor rampant cellphones

Blame the composers
Wait, could be equal
Where also performers
Are dead to a sequel

Young creative beasts
Often do not last
To partake in feasts
Of their snipped off lyric past

So most died
Outside of their time
To allow the tide
Erasure of rhyme
