Death Series 6 - Listen To Me Poem by Ciaran Quirke

“No more” I told them, “No more! ”
Would they listen...
“No more” they cried “No more! ”
Would I listen...

The institution's opinions varied,
Manic depressive? -No- Emotional pain? -No-

“No more need to live” I told them, “No more! ”
But would they listen now...
“No more” they cried, “No more! ”
Would I listen...

The doctors smiled a sigh,
They had their job to do,
Euthanasia was their field, and mine.
