Amicus Curiae

A Physician at a women's clinic in the daylight,
 

 
A Hit Man by night,
 

 
Tells clients other options exist
 

 
But sees money and accepts it.

"A job's a job; it's not my choice to decide.
 

 
Frightened? Unsure? Here you should hide.
 

 
The price, we'll say, is only financial—
 

 
The value of life, only circumstantial.

"Your situation is tough but there's a resolution,
 

 
A magic bullet to the brain or a solvent solution.
 

 
Unrestrained by the Other, your life starts anew."
 

 
Rebirth—a job, a procedure, no need for the pew.

The Law says we're committing a crime,
 

 
But "Justice! Equality!" according to the Times.
 

 
"All done, Ms. Fantine, thanks for stopping by.
 

 
If you have any more jobs for me, I'll happily oblige."
