The Right to Die
A new era, a law tells us the right to die
there always was a right to die
many people choose to go that way
often called suicide.
The new law doesn't target them but
old people, those who also are ill, have
the right to be mercifully killed at
at a hospital near you
with this new law, the elderly are under
pressure to die soon, not take up space
for a younger generation, but it is in the
unsaid, we hear the whisper.
An article might appear telling the reader
the cost, in millions, to look after the old
not to mention the benefit they receive
How aged is old, 75 years, as cut off point
This new law is anti-human; those who
agreed, will see it used against them
when they retire and need surgery, that
will extend a few more years.
