Short Surgeries Poems

Just like black to white –
resulting from anxiety
and all that money!

Winning millions, Fred acted insane,
Raced his new Benz and crashed in the rain.
All that money he won
Went for surgeries done
To repair both his body and brain!

How fitting is the title

                of that time of life named Golden.

To surgeries or drugs 

                those years are often most beholden.

Physician’s convictions to poison their patients,
Procedures with Ether, cold X-Ray stations 
A thousand scans in milligrams, 
Lobotomies and Amputations…
 
Surgeries to transform me, 
Imperfections to augment 
Blood Transfusions, concussions, contusions- 
For just a small improvement!...

10 years ago today,
I remember our fallen warrior.
In my heart,
You were a soldier.
Rounds of Chemo,
Countless surgeries.
You faced it head on.
Remission, was your peacetime,
But war is never ending.
You may have lost the battle with cancer,
But fought, with everything you had....

Please check this slam poetry 
link on YouTube for an 
amazing, very strong story how 
a doctor gave up on me. 15-
28-17. Those are my numbers. 
I have had 15 surgeries, I'm 28 
yrs old and this has gone on for 
17 months. #VoiceLess_Patient

To see old relatives can get you thinking
if your health will also soon be sinking.
Will you get their shingles, bunions or bad knees?
Will you get dementia or need some surgeries?
And if afflicted, will you face it well or will you cave?
Or might you be the lucky one to go
 "relatively" pain-free. . . to the grave?...

There are surgeries for bigger boobs
And bigger butts, as well
As implants meant for males to thus
Enhance their size and swell.

An article that I just read
(New Yorker Magazine)
Described such a procedure
And the problems often seen.

Why someone’d choose to surgically
Enlarge, for ego‘s sake,
A body part that functions
Seems, to me, a huge mistake....

i could not afford oceanfront
a reassuring kiss from you is priceless
i wish that you were here
however your eyes are more important than a trip
i pray that both of your eyes heal from the cataract surgeries
if it were up to be, then i would go back to school and study to be a miracle worker
i would just pray your perfect eyesight back into their rightful place, and then off we go
no matter where we stay, the view is always more beautiful with you by my side...

Schools, parades and lots of trips,
Cruises, flights and races;
Tennis matches and events
In other crowded places:

All are being canceled or
Postponed for times awaiting.
No one knows how soon is safe
When one’s recalculating.

Expos, luncheons, weddings, shows,
Surgeries elective
Crossed off calendars because
Of cautioning directive.

Life appears to be on hold
As virus germs go flitting
And cancellations mount while fear
Shows not a chance of quitting....

Invisible pain 
So much that my body is strained 
Can’t function from day to day
Tired of living life this way
Capabilities once taken for granted 
Now understood they were a luxury planted 
Running, walking, and so much more 
Have become a struggle I must endure 
Some think it’s pretend to get out of responsibilities 
But I wish I could just regain all of my abilities 
Four surgeries in 
And I still can’t seem to win 
A diagnosis is just a guess 
Still waiting for these tests...
