Aiding and Abetting

Aiding and abetting
 
The right to live, the right to die
It’s my responsibility.
It is my choice or it should be
When life has lost all quality
 
I am in constant agony
There’s nothing else in life for me
What right have you to prevent me?
 from dying with some dignity.
 
Why do you think I should endure
 the agonies that death would cure.
The choice is mine and mine alone
 and I have made my wishes known
 
Who gave you the right to say me nay.
To bid me that I have to stay
Are you prepared to take my place
and face the future that I face.
 
You have the right to your own view
 but you are not entitled to.
Dictate to me what I should do.
Its long past time for a review.
 
Clarification of the law.
 What the law is and what it’s for.
If I should choose the date and time
Of my demise is that a crime.
 
And if it’s not, assisting me.
Becoming an accessory.
 Should not incur a penalty
 but seems to do incredibly.
 
If suicide is not a crime
 and is not apparently.
How can you justify your time.
Punishing those who have helped me..
