AMERICA DOESN'T CARE FOR THE ELDERLY NO ONE CARES To old care America doesn't care for the elderly Cost more to die My money worthless Can't afford to cry Inflation my enemy America doesn't care for the elderly Medicare doesn't care I hurt, I'm slow no one loves me To old care I'm alone feel as though I'm unborn America doesn't care for the elderly Come to give me pity Even the city won't give dity Sitting on the plastic covered couch No one cares if I say ouch America doesn't care for the elderly Take my car away hide my keys To old care Just because I may serwe rub the curb What's wrong with me America doesn't care for the elderly Age just a number Now as you place me in a coffin Hope your happy now America doesn't care for the elderly To old care My family doesn't care for the elderly Only the one whom created me God bless the elderly 10/14/18 Written by James Edward Lee Sr. © 2018 Entry and from anthology "10th Annual INTER GENERATIONAL POETRY CONTEST” UNO UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA /DEPARTMENT OF GERONTOLOGY
