TERMINAL

 

They've lost all hope and-gained despair;

There's nothing left without repair;

They keep on thinking its not fair,

            That they must die  so young.

 

Their body ridden with diseases,

Their mind is riddled with displease;

Their soul is longing for release,

            If only they could die.

 

Their family members hide their tears;

No one talks about their fears;

There is no hope for future years,

            Just memories of the past.

 

Soon it'll be their time to die;

Freedom from their living lie:

Life will soon pass them by,

            And finally give them peace.
