At a Glimpse

I saw a man who is 
insane
whose wife divorced 
him
his only son 
abandoned him
living a life in a fast 
lane

I saw a lady whose 
husband
loved that much that 
he forgot
his scruples because 
of what passed 
through his gut
frankly dying with a 
wedding band

I saw a girl paralyzed 
by a disease
sitting while giggling 
as she sentries other 
kids
acting the role of 
queens and kings
hoping for a miracle 
while dying at ease.
