Hospital

Freedom breeds life

Hospitals breed freedom

What better place to be after freedom given

A hospital to see life taken and given

The halls are bustling, and full of commotion

For every beep there is a constant

For every constant there is a death

Sit down with a friend, who is so frail

Little old woman in her bed

She can barely move to give a hug

She feels so cold and weak

I leave them in the room alone

I walk the halls and find a man

Yelling at a nurse to shut the door and lights off

Down the hall a little girl is crying

Her granny has just died

Down the hall a woman cries

She has just brought a life into this world

We need our space, and we need our time

I needed this day in all it's subtlties

Sensory overload

I witnessed so much

Rushed out side for one single puff

My dad sat outside beside me

The woman we came to see

Has left her freedom to you and me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was just freed of all my court stuff, then went to a hospital to visit an old neighbor, who died the same day...
