Why should I live in agony? <br />my life a total misery. <br /> Because you find you can’t agree. <br />to help me die with dignity. <br /> <br />Who gave you the right to choose? <br /> whether to allow or to refuse. <br />To end a life of little use <br />I think it is gross abuse. <br /> <br />of your assumed authority. <br />To decide what is best for me, <br /> you will not listen to my plea. <br />I choose death voluntarily. <br /> <br />I am no use to anyone. <br />I’m well aware my race is run <br /> and I am anxious to be gone. <br />The choice is mine and mine alone. <br /> <br />And therefore should be left to me <br />But in your wisdom you decide. <br />I must live on in agony <br />You won’t assist my suicide. <br /> <br />01/05/2009 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gramercy/
