Dying With Dignity Sept 5th,2012 Poem by James Bredin

Dying with dignity is about living life on your own terms,
When and if you get your euthanasia and how it performs,
We should not need to go to High Court to get permission to die,
To have some pompous judge refuse, while looking you in the eye.

Persons with painful or cancerous diseases should have permission,
And automatic after consultation with their physician,
This should be a constitutional right and no need to implore,
Or be told by some imperial judge to get out the door.

Our do-nothing politicians want to avoid this subject,
They follow political Party rules and don't want to connect,
What the High Court did to Sue Rodriguez, they may do to you,
Those who are suffering should not have to suffer as they say adieu.
