There's a place where the doctors want you dead
want your heart to stop,
mind slow down that they may think instead;
Being a burden,
an extra cost,
with little profit being rare,
they urge your death,
true they want you there;

They need to show you whose boss,
with signature to bare.
changing rules leagal murder,
practised devotion,
lacking tears;

People crowding them,
then you,
they see alive.
Shall not stand excessive buzz,
work to a roomy hive;

Air shared,
sights draw stares,
good food an ageless dare,
not now to loud the row,
Faith & want & need withdrawn.
To death told to prepare how.
Awake they stamp approval,
more doctors being born.

Yes, it seems so horrid for man to decide he might play God on this earth...because he can't wait for God's decision, as if God hasn't already made it.
