Novelist Online Onpaper offers my thoughts on writing, reading and publishing--and sometimes the world--at the very least on the first of each month and more often by whim. Periodically, I will review novels from the present and the past, published online or on paper. Hopefully, I won't rain on any novelist, especially those seeking their audience without the help of traditional publishers. My novels are available via Kindle, Amazon and Smashwords through my webpage: www.kennethccrowe.com
CONSIDERING
DEATH
When my
body cries out
in endless pain
or thinking
begins to fade
from a
crumbling brain,
can I plunge
into the Styx
or must I wait
for God
to provide a
terminal fix
Thomas More
wrote in UTOPIA: (1516) that a person afflicted with disease can "free
himself from this bitter life…since by death he will put an end not to
enjoyment but to torture… it will be
a pious and holy action".
