DEATH WITH DIGNITY NOW …    DEC 31ST, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

At least five or six US states have death with dignity now,

Though this might cause some religious folk to cause a row,

We are all headed in that direction because we will die,

Though many politicians won't talk about this and I don't know why.

And here in Canada, the reluctance is the same -- a silent row,

Some people just don't want to accept this idea -- not now,

Death is indeed a turbulent subject for many many folks,

The mere idea of death is inclined to provoke.

The greatest human freedom is to live and die without pain,

Or without interference from those on a political campaign,

So death with dignity could play a part of what we are allowed,

Instead of having to die in pain under a dark cloud.
