[hometext] => I will carry with me the lives of those who I have seen suffer in the name of this Scheme!
[bodytext] => We as writers Seek at this time of year to write that which may scare In the true spirit of Halloween. We seek monsters, we create creatures And look for effects to chill and bring fear in the name of fun. Well sometimes real life is more scary. How do I know? In the Uk there is a scheme set up by the government in the name of Palliative Care, which in itself is the ideal setting for terror, when something Is supposed to protect the innocent and bring them comfort and solace and yet the scheme carries the guise of evil even in its name! 'The Death Pathway Scheme.' You would think the name of a horror film Or something out of the Science Fiction archives. Unfortunately in my job I get to have a front seat So I can view the suffering this Scheme gives to those who are vulnerable Those who’s life will eventually leave them but their time is not yet! And yet under this cloak of humanity is a letter of permission from those Who consider life expendable, granting those within the Caring Profession The right to withdraw all help, withdraw the body’s sustenance, withdraw Medicines that may comfort as the process of dying takes hold. Permission!! Permission for crimes against humanity! Permission for barbaric practice! Permission to turn away and not witness suffering! Permission for confusion, for anger and for pain! Signed in their blood! Money saved in their gasp for life! I may write and create from the darkest depths of my imagination But I cannot create Horror such as this.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
