Free Cee Doctors Borders
DOCTOR'S BORDERS
All of them said everything would go well
they said not to worry and everything will be all right
but they weren't the ones who could have been headed for hell
and that death might have a weak man in its sight
the doctors promised there were things they could do
there were rounds of chemicals and radiation
it was all so weird to watch lips almost turn blue
and for a wounded body there was no retaliation
the doctors simply wanted to get done what needed to be done
whatever the physicians ordered that's what they'd do
they were well but there lay a very sick one
and I wanted so much for their prediction to be true
there was baldness, there was nausea, and there was pain
pain such as no human being should feel
deterioration and death were making themselves plain
and it was difficult to simply eat a meal
all of these things are sad as can be
and there was no where to run or to go
I cried my eyes out for death's decree
I cried for a man I didn't even know
