Death Is In Our Future... Jan 3rd,2013 Poem by James Bredin

DEATH IS IN OUR FUTURE … JAN 3RD,2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

We are all caught in circumstances whether we like it or not,
In location, time, language, religion and age which means a lot,
Because each one of us has a completely different life,
Some of us even have nothing but trouble and strife.




Death-with-dignity seems to me to be a good way to go,
Unless you have to go to Switzerland and spend a lot of dough,
And you pick the time and place over there, where you will be dead,
Is there something happening here, that maybe we should dread?




Stephen: I'm afraid to tell you this but even you will die,
And we need to talk about this before we say our goodbyes,
If we could get death-with-dignity; we could then relax,
And not be afraid to face the end-of-life facts.
