Abysmal

Cold dark waters
Close over my head
Tree reflections ripple
I can hear my heart beat

Lights go out one by one
Stillness swamps me
Shadows hover out of sight
But my heart still beats

Hope a gossamer memory
Drifts leaf-like in sluggish currents
And the rain damp soil heavy with desire
Clogs my thoughts

Too far down
Blood motionless
The last breath drifts upwards
A cascade of heart beats silenced.

In hostage to the abyss.

It’s not my intention to dampen anyone’s righteous indignation at tragedies of this kind and, of course, one case is one too many, but it should be remembered, I think, that the country is actually making good progress with this sort of thing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8497277.stm

I am sorry but I cannot go along with the let us pat ourselves on the back because our violent death rate amongst under 14s has gone down! The population has gone up, so the actual incidences are going to be higher. They are saying statistically the incidences have gone down, but they are talking about 17 children per million children. Thats still a hell of a lot of children dying violent deaths! My guess is that the actual figures haven’t changed that much in the last 30 odd years. I hate people who massage figures to make things seem better than they are.

A friend’s mother died two years ago. She was very elderly but had been incredibly spritely and well until she contracted pneumonia and then c. difficile. When she was admitted to hospital, the family were asked if they wanted her to be resuscitated should she pass away. They were horrified and insisted that of course they wanted her resuscitated.

At the time I was shocked……actually, I am still shocked. I thought that the medical profession were honour bound to try and save people’s lives, to resuscitate and to treat. But it seems that there is a kind of hidden protocol to allow people to die if they are elderly. It is a face of the NHS i do not like. The fact that they ask relatives to make the decision as soon as their elderly relative is admitted i don’t like either.

Withholding medication and not resuscitating seems to be accepted, but actively helping people out of this world is not. I understand the difference, but ethically the lines between the two things are very very blurred in my opinion.

“Leave Out All The Rest”

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I made

I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are

I am not sure about this Welshy!!! Changing your name could make you open to criticism. I mean… using another name might make people doubt your honesty and integrity. I mean…. its important is a name.
