HOSPITAL TREATMENT FEB 1ST, 2015  ST BRIGET’S DAY

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Your hospital end-of-life treatment may not be one bit nice,

Especially if you don't die and have to come back twice,

And if you do die and you are not pleased, you can't complain,

It's as though your body and soul were tied with a heavy chain.

Indeed you may come to the conclusion that your life was too short,

And you need much more political death-with-dignity support,

Because if you catch some awful painful terrible disease,

Doctor assisted death could be a way to die like a breeze.

Religious folk, judges and politicians, have strong feelings here,

They feel strongly that the judgement of their god should be feared,

Therefore death with dignity can't be discussed or allowed,

And nothing, absolutely nothing, will be said about this out loud.
