Wondering Why

I sit and think of her tonight And wonder what we've done I've got to admit I'm filled with fright What has our country become? Each night we tuned into the news Just to watch her die We sat and watched this cruel abuse I wonder, did you cry? Put yourself inside her shoes Or those of her grieving mother Ask yourself 'what would I do?' If it were your sister or your brother Her heart was beating her lungs were breathing Her eyes were big and bright To take away her food and drink What gives anyone that right? There is no way to know for sure Just what she felt inside Possibly her thoughts were there Trapped deep within her mind Fourteen days have come and gone She proved the will to live By hanging on so long It's over now her souls moved on To a place that's so much better If by chance she could have spoke And asked to let her die Her request would have gone unheard No way would we have let her.
