Everyone wants that softer landing,
and for many a sense of loss
remains a hard thing to crack.
But through the means
that humans give themselves
we have extended our ease,
from drugs that limit pain
and keep people mobile
up to a self administered death
where for the wealthy,
where when their health fails,
money gives them that final choice.
For the poor the wealth that suits them best
is to retrospectively reduce the pain
they never needed in the first place
from childhoods racked by inequality.
