Kill Quickly Kill
Look at him, a burden
money spent, time wasted
expensive health care, heavy budget
tears, sorrow, agony day in day out
kill quickly kill, have mercy
Terminally sick is terminally hope-less
let him go decently
pain, pain and pain on pain,
mercifully kill him quick
Give him his right, let him enjoy it
right to die is duty to kill
make him die quickly, happily
tomorrow too far ; today not too soon
sh..sh…sh.. I hear a voice
“You say kill quickly kill!
Did you create him?
Do you know why he’s suffering?
Do you know purpose of suffering?
Creatures I created can now judge
In dismay I listen to them rejoicing
murder that is a taboo
is now a thing of games, jokes!
My creatures are now my rivals
wanting to create me
sitting on caricature thrones of judgment
they plot to abolish me
