Government Guidelines: Removal Age

by Nick Gisburne



If a citizen has reached Removal Age
They must swallow an official poison pill
Any failure to comply, at any stage
Gives an officer the right to shoot and kill
Where a plague-infected relative has died
Use abrasive tools to grind the skin away
Hang all bodies on the meat hooks we provide
Current law permits a single corpse per day
Never question your allotted date and time
The efficiency of government is key
To extend your legal lifespan is a crime
And will triple the administration fee
    When your usefulness is over you must die
    You are not allowed to know the reasons why
