FORBIDDEN TO GO THERE … DEC 1ST,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
If we get assisted suicide for end-of-life pain,
It gets you out of a situation where there's nothing to gain,
The religious types don't like it because it's against their faith,
But there's little you can do about life and death when it's too late.
And you can't complain about it afterwards because you are dead,
It's the natural process although it's something we all dread,
And we are caught in religions and legal systems and can't go,
Some folk still go to Switzerland because they have the dough.
So death-with-dignity is something to seriously consider,
It gets more complicated as you get older and an elder,
But someone should figure out how to avoid the indignity,
So that we can eventually lie down and have death with dignity.
