My father is already battling cancer.
On the way to the hospital for both
Radio and Chemotherapy the poor guy
Had a stroke. Having been there
Myself, I know how hard that can be.
Going to the hospital to see him
It struck me that every day the hospital’s
Full. It’s almost impossible  to
Find a parking space. That’s just one
Hospital in a medium sized city, and
There must be thousands and thousands
Of people either suffering ill health
Or suffering because their loved ones
Are suffering, and that’s just one hospital
Among hundreds, just in England alone.
England is a piss ant, tiny country.
Imagine that, all over the world.
Christ Almighty !
Why and how do we carry on, Keep
Going, against all the odds,
Knowing we’ll never win ?
I suppose it’s because it’s always
Somebody else. No, it will never
Happen to us.
