This is no <br />Sweet “carried off by angels” <br />At the age of 90 <br />Kind of death. <br />No <br />“go gently into that goodnight” <br />at the age of 70 <br />Kind of death. <br />This is <br />A fight to the bitter end, <br />Struggling for breathe <br />Kind of death. <br />Young wife screaming in the corridor, <br />Mother’s tears washing my face, <br />No damn joking, <br />Cancer choking <br />Unfair death at 30 <br />Kind of death.<br /><br />Sallie Howson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kind-of-death/
