The
old Indian woman came
By
the trolley bed the nurse pushed her in
She
was sleeping through her journey
Alone
in the ward 308
The
first night nobody came
She
was alone speaking in her sleep
Snoring
loudly in her dream land
She
never bothered the others
The
next day still nobody visited her
Children
or relatives or friends
She
is left all alone in the ward
With
the nurses helping her
One
nurse had to spoon feed
The
old Indian woman
She
can understand questions
She
can answer well
But
her children?
The
last 3 days saw nobody
She
is practically left alone
In
the ward with the nurses
What
we did when we were young
Turned
into adult got married and had children
How
we raise the children it will tell in the future?
Abandoned
parents with nobody arrives for visits
It
is always a sad story
Looking
at old people abandoned
On
the streets or in hospitals
They
know their time to suffer
The
cycle returns
The
tragic stories we hear
Of
children and parents
The
sorry state of a life
