In India, several years ago
A man falsely claimed his brother
Was dead so he could inherit the family assets,

The dead brother had to fight
To be declared legally not dead
And contest the will.

"The Association of the Living Dead"
Became a movement
Of thousands of people.

For in India apparently,
It was a thing to declare
Your relative is dead.

I never thought
That the US would have
To form their own
"The Association of the Living Dead"
Until this week.

The cyber ninjas
In their infamous non-forensic audit
In the 2016 Arizona election
Claimed that hundreds of dead people
Had voted.

They gave their list of the alleged dead voters
To the attorney general
Who contacted all 300 dead people
Found that 299 of the 300 were in fact
Not dead and none of them knew
That unnamed political operative
Were claiming that they were dead.

The one dead voter was alive
when he voted early.
But died before election day

Thus, making his vote not valid
But there was no fraud involved
As he was alive when he voted.

Perhaps they need to form
The "association of the living dead"
In Arizona and other red states,

To fight for the right
of the non-dead people
To continue to vote
and receive other government benefits?

What a sad commentary
On the farcical nature
Of contemporary life
In these disunited States of America.
