humanely?

 

humanely?


the dogs were humanely destroyed

       they said

yet we ‘succumb’ to an illness

after putting up a ‘brave fight’

no complaints for tomorrow 

for

the disease never destroys us

humanely or otherwise

   we pass

away with you man

call a spade a bloody shovel

what made us what we were

the structures and the sinews

are destroyed by death

destroyed - destroyed!

to feed the multitudes 

                          who say

quite humanely and genuinely

thank you

for this in the morsel of your passing
