Only One Patient Stays
Only One Patient Stays
Earth’s heart is hurt
We are stifling its circulation
Her eyes look on, as doctors
Deduct she’s going blind, she needs medicine
They can’t see her future
She is still a phenomenon
Drastic how your prominence is overlooked
Benefits taken from you
Cases of fat cat’s wallets
Fill as they hurt you, take away your rainforests
This is pharmacology, they gave you prescriptions
Low doses not to kill, not to heal, but for your return
A diagnosis of slow but steady sickness
She needs us to
Talk to her, touch her, listen to her
Real therapy
You ask her for a urine test
You gave her the drugs!
This is murder in the first degree!
