Keen Observations

Reminis on how many times,
Having keen observations
Were depended on - 
To report, to assist in, to formulate
A scientific opinion in the Healing
process of a Charge.

The Charges members also got to know,
And when an elderly Charge passes on,
Members cry out: "If you had only been there"!

Then one day, out of the god dam blues,
Some like a marauder band, assumed a
cleansing path!
Like Saul before he became Paul,
Cleansed in their own way,
Anhailating God's people too.

Keen observations then went forcefully
to "sleep".
For Collectivism took over Democracy,
Ruling against life, limb and living.

But when situations like the lifeless,
The dying and the gradually being 
made ill,
Keen Observations rose up again.

A flat table in the morgue,
The unusual non-repose of a corpse,
Sitting out in a wheelchair with curved 
formations to that shape,
Lying with good movements in a bed.
