Sucking patients dry
Killing some

      If only her patients stayed still.

In Pain in their own filth lay
Starved and deserted
Who cared, none could tell it seems
Not in war but hospital

But still we pried and pried
Till they screamed, it’s an ulcer 
And there is your answer....

What I must learn is how to share,
Hope and pain,
Not in vein;

because there are no real cure in 
this imperfect world that is every thing 
but real....
