DEAD GUYS … JAN 1ST, 2013
BY
Many of my old comrades and companions are now long dead,
I’ll be with them soon enough which is something I dread,
Because it can’t be planned as we wait for death to happen,
But if we had death-with-dignity, some of us would be laughing.
People don’t seem concerned about their upcoming deaths,
The most important thing to happen in their lives, as of yet,
And it can’t be planned or scheduled so we really don’t know,
We can’t have death-with-dignity though we’re compelled to go.
Is it possible to change a Supreme Court decision?
Like the Sue Rodriguez case -- refused death with great precision,
Or are we completely helpless and can’t change a thing?
Waiting around quietly for our death-knell bells to ring.
