bent trees

online suicide forum
in the news again
as Brits look doe a partner
to end their life together.
Is it the suicides that are the problem
or the end-of-life companionship
or the lack of funded help centres?
It's not the suicide itself, surely?
Better to have death by ingested poison
than death by train, lorry, subway.
But the site allows a predator
to kill the woman looking for a partner
without fear of consequence
and instead of a peaceful death
(nitrogen, carbon monoxide, overdose)
we get the proliferation of torture porn
and a death in agonising pain.
