Euthansia ( our answer to their grief)

We call it Euthansia
its death by someone’s hand
normally a cat or dog
who cannot understand
or can they?
do they?
yes of course
they do
look in their eyes
they know what
we are doing
oh! yes they realise

and some of it
is carried out
in a most insensitive way
some is cruel and nasty
and those doing that will pay
they will pay
when their time comes
it won’t be as painless
they thought
the universe will see to that
and their past crimes
will be sought

forlorn faces gripped with fear
holding onto life
so dear
plastic bags
in that we’ve thrown
the evidence
and its us that groan
we who have to feel the pain
over and over and over again!
the innocent
the unwanted one’s
someone’s daughter
someone’s sons
someone’s father
and mothers too
now carcasses
now prepared
for tomorrows stew

handlers look at the evil eye
they piss themselves
and we know why
the fear
the fright
ther end is near
where the hell do
#ey go from here?

Euthanasia is a big word
it does disturb
it has occurred
billions of times
as souls depart
and many alas
with a broken heart
