Death
There are many worse things than death that can happen to you,
It’s the pain and sickness you suffer before you die and accrue,
Because death can get rid of cancer pain but what a way to go,
It’s so bad that some contemplate suicide but can’t let us know.
Because suicide or assisted suicide is illegal here,
And our politicians all look at this issue with great fear,
Not politically correct and religion is involved,
Wont touch it with a ten-foot pole so nothing is solved.
But Holland, Oregon and Switzerland already have these rights,
Though I doubt if some pedophile priest will give you the last rites,
And doctor’s Hippocratic oath tends to stress that this is harm,
But if you took diazepam would you cause some great alarm?
