WE WILL NOT DIE TODAY    … NOV 12TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Why is doctor-assisted death so difficult to get?

And having to die in pain could be something we regret

Why can't we change the laws to make it easy to die?

Why do politicians stay silent about this and won't even lie?

How did we get into this mess and how do we get out?

Surely this is something that someone should do something about,

Because death can be both painful and something we can't avoid,

Did someone say that our democracy had been destroyed?

If we had binding referendums on this issue; would it help?

Why do I feel that our politicians won't listen even if we yelp?

Is it the preachers, the priests and other religious types?

Shouting from a pulpit about their holy religious gripes?
