Injecting Society

Why do they allow him to suffer that way?
Confined to his bed, no dignity kept.
Struggling to breathe...
If an animal were suffering
would it be kept alive
to wollow in it's pain..?
NO, it's misery would be ended
one shot away!
No more suffering a torturous death.
So why then, does society say
that a human should carry on
to live another miserable day?
Hearing people say, Ure doing fine...
You'll be ok...just give it time!
Alone in a hospital bed
wanting to end it all.
SO alone, desperately shattered...
Thinking of the past, alive and free
then thinking of tomorrow
and what will never be.
Crying silent tears,
putting on a brave face.
Smiling for the moment
leaving behind the memories
That one cannot replace!
There HAS to be a voice out there,
or a sympathetic ear,
To help those suffering day after day
their choice is very clear.
Give them the right to dignity,
let them keep their self respect
allow them grace for eternity
to live and die, the way it was meant to be.
