jerry hughes - DECISION DAY

In fifteen second you'll be dead.
The decision is entirely yours.
The pain you've endured makes
the act so simple.

No more palliative injections
No more morphine as the pain
became excruciating.
No more, no more, today's the day.

You searched your conscience
and said your goodbyes.
Unwavering you press the YES button.
Miraculously the pain decreases.
