Dubious mercy

Dubious mercy
restlessness his life
fighting those who want to help
also calling out
understanding gone
confusion not accepting
isolation trapped
he eats yes and smiles
his suffering decreasing
his disease matured
peace will perhaps come
when it reaches it’s true end
destruction of thought
rest will come at last
allowing life to flow by
confusion now gone
dubious mercy
yes but true gift none the less
allowing life’s end
until the time comes
allowing deaths deep embrace
to bring fruition
one day perhaps soon
my hands also will be tied
others leading me
at last in the end
all we can do is be kind
empathy the king
