Subject Strictly Forbidden... May 13th,2013 Poem by James Bredin

This is one subject that is seldom if ever discussed,
Priests and ministers and bishops get to show their disgust,
Death-with-dignity is not tolerated by any religion,
Certainly never discussed where there might be children.




All religious zealots have been preached to by the cleric crowd,
From a pulpit or on TV; that DWD should not be allowed,
Many of my old friends and companions; died in severe pain,
Couldn’t do anything about it, like standing in the rain.




The idea of death-with-dignity in not allowed in this land,
It’s as though we have to march to the beat of their religious band,
This is something that can’t be discussed in the proper places,
Discussing death with dignity is forbidden in all cases.
