Euthanasia Essay, Research Paper

EUTHANASIA

Like a misguided arrow

Sailing the seas of pain

Falling down, to drown in the sadness

And hollowness of the blackness of life

Faded and dusty is all my glory

Tread by a million feet before

Lies my bed of roses

And the stink of defeat is thick in the air

the loss is unbearable

The sea of sorrow engulfs me

Like I was its own

And pierces me with needles of ice

What can I do but scream

And scream too in my dream

The reality I envisaged

Has blown right out of my hands

The wind has snatched from me

The last shreds of hope

And I lie here

Like a broken skeleton in the sand

Waiting for the promised death

To free my soul from the pains

Of a body old and withered

Maybe it is better

Sometimes they say

They call it mercy killing.
