My Beautiful People

Time is a wasting


This isn't me
I'm not normally this way
But I'm so very mad
I've got lots to say

I walked through doors
There's bodies draped over chairs
They're sick & bleeding
It's as if nobody cares

The hallways are clogged
There are no more beds
For the sick & injured
To lay down their heads

Doctors & nurses
Stretched far too thin
There are so many people
But there's no room within

My anger is aimed
At the powers that be
Whom turn a blind eye
And pretend they can't see

The neglect that is caused
By these tight fisted dorks
Who rather spend money
On fireworks & sports

They need tend to this problem
It's worsening each day
Spend the dollars where they're needed
Without further delay

Our people are hurting
Lives being lost
Precious time is a wasting
At a terrible cost

  2. A wonderfully written poem about a real problem. Perhaps you could send this to someone in a position to do something about it.
