To kill or not to kill terminal patients.

Of euthanasia

Once I had a dog and the vet told me,

To put it to sleep,

As the dog will simply limp,

It’ll be in pain.

I complied with the vets command,

The dog died instantly.

I cried beyond control for days.

Was the vet really right?

The second dog fell

Down from the first floor,

Had a spinal injury,

The vet another one this time told me,

To put the dog to sleep,

It would give him,

The vet more money,

For the injection eh! I said no,

Keep, the small one then say three,

Alive for two hours,

The rest leave it to me.

Rest is history the pet died,

After having lived for 13 years,

That too untimely, as I had to leave

The vet, do not believe,

Died I’m told in his dream.

This is all about pets.

Imagine the human being,

The modern love of wealth,

Where will it leave us?

That alone makes it a controversial point,

Why euthanasia,

The guys will be killed prematurely,

For not what they suffer badly

But what they will leave,

For others gladly

    I hated putting my dog to sleep. Someone poisoned her with anti freeze. I could of killed them.
