Best Anaemia Poems
Dracula had the most terrible toothache,
so he booked to see his dentist Mr Payne.
An evening appointment was requested;
as Dracula only rose after the sun had set
When Dracula walked through the door
a blast of garlic breath hit him in the face;
Dracula bit his lip as he had a huge fit
Mr Payne had forgotten his patient’s allergy!
The dentist put on his surgical mask,
whilst he removed Dracula’s rotten fangs;
Sadly for Dracula, he can no longer bite necks,
now he’s being treated for severe anaemia!

I was taught to protect the good name
of the family;to be honest and straight forward,
But,Am I being deceived?
I toil day and night,hoping to find peace
and solace in hard work,
But,it becomes an illusion,vague!
completely vague!
Am I different?
I went to school to enrich my knowledge,
to be able to use my skills for my country,
to be upright and diligent,
but,what do I get?; unemployment!,
Hardship and shame glued to my body
like a stubborn tumor.
They mock and laugh at me
as I walk on the street with rumpled shirt
and opened wide mouth shoe with faded lace,
my body temperature is higher than the intense blazing sun,
Can`t bear this anymore,
Eight years of roaming....waiting...and...writing..
Many have called me to leave this straight road
and journey with them in dubious acts and
illegal deals which have fetched them millions,
Yet,I refused;
Allowing poverty to tear my skin
wide open and devour my intestine;
For how long,am I going to endure this intense heat?
My hands are shaking,eyes seeing stars,body shivering;
I`m suffocating..;get me out of here!,
It seems my blood is short,
Anaemia!..F..e..ver!
S...o...m...e...bo...dy.....
H......e....l....p...
m...ee!..
*Dedicated to all unemployed youths*
I say 'Please endure,there is still hope'.

Suck blood like a vampire from a strange empire ,
Not invited but invite herself,
Pass through tiny holes and mesh of the net to
Set her proboscis on the skin…
Night crawler and unwanted flying creature ..
Dances around your earlobe to infuriate you..And ..
You end up slapping your ear with a big bang..!
Her piecing mouth part sends strong signals to
the brain which can make the sane to be insane ..
Fever is the outcome ,running temperature is his friend ,
And headache the mother..of all murders….
Anaemia plus lassitude will pay you a warm visit ,
Leading to excursion to the doctor’s home ;
Lab test shows plasmodium or salmonella…or …what?
Carried by this vector or rector called female anopheles…
....Mosquito.......

I'm not sure what she's using
though I have an idea
her body she's abusing
and her mind has anaemia
as the excuses drip off her tongue
as to why she can't call
not the first to be sung
not the last bar room brawl
helpless I wait
til she tells me these truths
I'm a fish after bait
being trolled to the truth
not to sound dramatic
but what a disaster
her brain is rheumatic
her vice is her master
I hear her cry from a distance
though stifled and cold
hope I break through the resistance
a story of old
temptation is fond
of those who are weary
I'll swim through this pond
and escape the hook of the leery
Dialysis
Dialysis
What is that
Let's do some research
Get a few facts
It's a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly
They have to take your blood out
Clean it put it back in
You experience the chills
And sometimes it leaves you in shock
They need heating blankets and cozy socks
To stay warm
They experience so much with their bodies
They have to be dialysised three times a week
It's exhausting
Overbearing
It's scary
I thought this was worth sharing
Your blood pressure can be lowered
You experience muscle cramps
is physically and emotionally draining, causes complications such as nerve problems, anaemia, bone disease and infection. In addition, an arduous regime of three days a week on dialysis can lead to symptoms including nausea, vomiting, cramps and depression.
Whew Let's have a session
My mom had to go go to dialysis for 4 years
Three times a week
She went through a lot
On a machine
Trying to give it your all
Sometimes she would have to get off of it because her body would cramp
She would cry
Unless you were a dialysis patient.
You wouldn't understand why
I salute ?? each one
Each one i wish I could give a hug
You guys are tough ??
And deserve a lot of love
A chronic kidney disease
That comes with no ease
Getting stuck with needles
Getting blood drawn
In and out
Out and in
It can affect the Skin
Leaving all kinds of bruises
And dark spots
You my diaylsis friends will never be forgot
Let's put our hearts together and hold hands
Make this disease better if we can
How can you get checked
If you feel something is wrong
Do us a favor get checked on
Yes it can affect your urine
Maybe even stop you from having children.
I don't know
The more information I get for you
The more I'll let you know
Dialysis doesn't necessarily mean it's the end
Just pick up where you left off
You can still win
I wrote this tribute in honor of my mother
Who is no longer physically here
Rest in Paradise Beautifully my dear
And to all if you feel like it gets Overbearing
Let's honor dialysis and all that we have lost and those who are still fighting
In honor of my mom
Lets get
Kozy for Karen

Anaemia
Who cares for her once glorious dreams
Utopia is the new reality
Dopamine-starved citizens gaze forlornly
As blood feverishly flows out
From her gaping wounds
Siamese twins of hunger and anger
Starving her of peace and progress
In a land of high Testosterone
Security gone AWOL
Citizens on their own
Slowly but steadily
Life ebbs out
Deprived of nutrients and water
Homeland turned fiefdom by renegades
Despising folks, they make foes
Pious laughter loosens frown
of frail freedom
Blood-sapping East wind
Turns grasslands into deserts
Bruised and beaten by the day
Body and soul in dread of dawn
Conquer battlefields of the mind
With riots of laughter
This Mephistophelian theatre
With broken social ligaments and
Ruptured moral tendons
Will one day get a transfusion of a new life
Or die slowly and solemnly
of Anaemia
