Practices flesh-creeping,
Heavy-handed offenses,
Cruel acts of devil incarnates
Relentlessly exist, persist
Hedonistic, impious times
Marked by heinousness of crimes
Comfortable, snuggest womb
Took form of bloodiest tomb.
To cease power of suffering or pain
Euthanasia, assisted suicide
Darkest deeds at the bedside - hide,
As cyanide - brutishly, callously applied.
Infernal contrivance - kill the terminally ill
The unnumbered vulnerable, the unviable
The disabled, the "undesirable"
Dispensing deadly drug or pulling the plug.
Pandemic fiendish - "culture of death"
Robbing defenseless, pre-born lives
Precious infants, "crippled," sage elderly
Of vital force of heartbeat, of breath.
Privilege of suffering and pain
Hastily discounted as bane
Frailty of old age seen as an outrage -
Palpable, limpid signs - of taken ill - brain
Unmake
The calamitous heartbreak
Merciless killing outbreak
The spiritual self-slaughter
The atheistic, nihilistic coma -
The vile backslider, the fatal divider
