The Hospital Bill

One foot by one foot by six foot deep the chemical waste of a money pit broke her parents on the cost of health one foot wide one foot long and six foot deep A hundred nights of over time a thousand tears of hope reassurance spilled by garbage with so many pretentious prognostics gave her this the cure within reach and side effects may outweigh all the potential benefits One foot wide and six feet deep one foot long in the chemical pit broke her parents for the price of health for two years old and meet the doctors bill A medical inconsistency and it’s death by radiology life by sickness incurable curable a promissory note an I.O.U glued to her tombstone One foot by one foot and six foot deep and death by arrogance death by a pin prick and death in the end by the ego of so many doctors
