*Healthcare in our country

Light flickers on the ceiling In a weakened state, I wonder why They are so cruel, all about money Written in tears, the language I cry Through the years, suffering carries on As people stand with smiles, they mock While the hurting fight their battles Through every single fallen block The evil thrive on their money The victims become their prey Hunters lurking in the shadows Waiting for the ailing to come their way Morals turn to dust, caring fades in echoes All for the wounded to hear Slowly deafened in defeat With no resolution near Those who understand, Sadly have been through it They travel through a dungeon This country refuses to be lit Heidi Sands 12/6/18

Sadly my friend it seems every thing today is about money. Greed rules the world whether it be health care of poetry sites. Your poem was wonderful and sadly it needed to be written. Nice expressed Heidi.

When money takes priority..all morals break down. Suffering ignored will haunt forever. Your poem gives them a voice, Heidi.

Money before people every time, our N.H.S. used to be brilliant until the fat cat bosses took over the trusts and they wouldn't know what a bandage or crutches looked like if it stared them.in the face. It does anger me. Well written Heidi. Tom.

It is getting really bad, Tom, really bad. I plan to write an article about it with proof of examples, where I live. Thank you for your comment! :)
