The new Baby Boomer generation is not pleased about this, <br />They’re getting closer to death and this cannot be dismissed, <br />Despite the pompous preachers who tell them to kneel and pray, <br />And accept the pain of death that may arrive any day. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And do not think about the sin of assisted suicide, <br />Even if Lou Gehrig’s disease pain should coincide, <br />Because that’s what happened to Sue Rodriguez many years ago, <br />She wanted death with dignity and the Supreme Court said no. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Switzerland has a DWD system but it’s very far away, <br />And death with dignity is expensive which could be hard to pay, <br />So Baby Boomers are caught between reality and aristocrats, <br />Maybe even between the pompous and the bureaucrats. <br /> <br /> Oct 16th,2013<br /><br />James Bredin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/between-pompous-and-bureaucrats-oct-16th-2013/
