you know you’re gonna die why then do you cry and moan doctor’s pills, needles, x-rays, etc. can maybe prolong it into your senility of old age where you re quite alone the are from that other world that world you left you mind is a jumble can’t think straight they have you in this place people paid (very little) to watch over you change out your Depends sometimes wish you could return to that day when death came to call but the doctors with their smart pills, putting the brakes on death and now you sit there in your own waste nobody notices you no one cares what would you give to go back when death called you would welcome it with open arms but not to be but not to be ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Nope! Not me! Living is what I'm all about. I've had two very close brushes with the Golden Gate or Hell's Fires (Hell's Fire for sure in at least one case - - - Ha!)and, friend o'mine, I've no desire to cross over either bridge. I've known many who would agree with you 100% though - a couple I'd even help get there if I could . . . Good piece, my friend, as usual ... j. |

I completely understand, j. It is a very difficult problem to make. I know how I think about it, and so I put my thoughts into a poem. Thank you for the read and your thoughts. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Yes, we'd all like to exit with marbles in tact and continent. But our exit is as big a surprise as our entrance. The only difference is we can expedite our exit. ~L |
