Hanged on an Easel

Instead of dying he got sick
Which was worse.

Doctors gave him a sentence
(A few weeks, a month, maybe a year, maybe more)
It was hard to say.

One sentence.
Not a verse with a rhyme.
Full of beaches and canyons, though.
Then just one flat line.

"Why should I live?"
To be hanged on an easel?
Why is everyone is O.K.
But you?
