Human life has dignity at every age, and taking of innocent lives can never be justified.
But what if the life loses a reason to live...
What if when life flashes in front of your eyes someday, all that you see is impending death...
Or what if life ceases to flash in front of your eyes...
'Euthanasia' is a very sensitive topic that needs to be addressed with a lot of care. I strongly believe that Man should be allowed to live and die with dignity.
My poem " Euthanasia " strives to take a deeper look into the psyche of a man without the will to live...
Death denied; though abandoned by life;
I lie on my bed and stare.
Stare at the blank ceiling of my room
And try to recollect, for how long I’ve been here.
As blurred images from the past, flood my mind;
And reminiscences of a fine young gentleman
That was I some years back; come to my memory.
Not of this decrepit old man, that I am today;
Old not in terms of years but suffering
For I have suffered more than I can endure.
Paralysed from neck downwards, I plead
Death be mine; for I have loved you,
Loved you more than anything else in my life.
But life they say is precious
And should be lived to the fullest;
What if it holds only misery for you.
But then today I wish to die
For living is, but a banal existence;
And let no man say, that I longed for death
Because I did not love my life; I did.
But I loved death more, much more.
