CHOICE?

So today “Out the Blue,”

Was told by noble soles

Who think the pill is God

“You’ve got just two more months to live!”

Sure’s a brick hit home

Holy hell!!!

BAM!!!

All Hope lost

Been handed me.

So I think

I’ll keep my dignity

And die upon my hill

Excalibur in Hand

let Hospice

Do its dirty deed

Am off to Nirvana Land.

I still don’t know

The time nor place

Nor Whence nor Where

Nor Why nor How I’ll

Plow that one last row

Now I face my fate!

Amen🙏🏻
