the heart slows
as he lies there
tended by doctors nurses
that only know him
as a bed number
on a chart
not a name
and when he goes
to that place
we all must go eventually
he goes unloved
unwanted
leaving behind a body
to be disposed of
by the hospital staff
Grim. But real.
Reality often is.
All too true.. all too often.
Yes, sad to say.
I think that’s what the world is becoming. Nameless, faceless and uncaring.
Seems so.
Scary but true.
Unfortunately.
So sad!
Yes, it is.
Happens far too often.
Tht it does and sad each time.
