Being Human

Brenda planned to survive in pulsating poems
Existential conflicts she resolved beautifully
In her deathbed told her husband to see to it
Needy patients should be handed her organs
Given the eventuality of her being brain dead

Her son upon the brain death organized it  
Urology Ward offered Carla for the kidney
Mary in GI unit got the liver, Clara the cornea
Ample life in the death is indeed awesome
Nightingale in some of us is deathless
