Behind the Scenes
Exposure
Stress whirls, while the mind spins
Stuck in a trap, with no way to win
Only to lose things without a choice
Screaming inside, to have a voice
What our country is doing, regarding health
All for their gain, ongoing wealth
It is beyond comprehension, as it unfolds
Patients bounced around as if they are sold
Powerless one is to fix what led to the trap
There is no direction, eventually no map
Stripping hurting people of their livelihood
This is NOT American, when understood
Behind the scenes, stealing from those in need
Until there is no way at all for some to be freed
Assistance is a farce for those on disability needing care
Medicaid requiring high deductibles, no money to spare
Yet given free to those breaking law or without problem
They are helped with no costs, no deductibles for them
Because they chose on their own to have zero income
They receive the so-called assistance ‘sum’
It is twisted, evil and it is all happening here
While people are dying and no-one even cares
