They die, they do not want to
Their oxygen is cut off
Their voices suffocated
Squeeze out their final cough
No longer to endure the pain
No longer strapped in beds
While deathly howls fill the ward
Crying out in their distress
The home for these old gentlefolk
Is theirs unto the end
Most of them don't even know
How it all began
Horrifying morbidity
Stink, decay and death
The mortifying reality
Of end of life, last breath
