\n\u201cMy poor siblings and I are so sad:
\nHe\u2019s the best friend that we ever had,
\nWith a heart of pure gold,
\nBut he has<\/em> gotten old,
\nAnd it’s time that we euthanize Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNow, children, please don\u2019t cry.
\nIt\u2019s time to say goodbye.
\nToday\u2019s the day
\nWe booked in May:
\nIt\u2019s Grandma\u2019s turn to die.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe would never overtly deny
\nAny care we\u2019re prepared to supply;
\nIf we do have to ration,
\nWith a practiced compassion
\nWe\u2019ll decide who deserves most to die.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s \u201csafe sex\u201d and \u201csafe schools\u201d and \u201csafe touch,\u201d
\n\u201cSafe this\u201d and \u201csafe that\u201d and \u201csafe such,\u201d
\nBut, if \u201csafe\u201d now means \u201cqueer\u201d
\nAnd is said with a leer,
\nThe word \u201csafe\u201d doesn\u2019t comfort me much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
