CAN;T YOU WALK STRAIGHT…YET?????
(An amputee’s frustration)
–
He thought he’d be better by now,
Not tottering like a sick cow…
The amputee
Angrily,
Hated himself right now.
–
Was writing his work epitaph
The next step on his behalf…
A frustrating deal,
The wound won’t heal
With nothing about it to laugh.
–
He used to limp before,
Exhaustion would make him limp more…
Now it’s a given
Struggling living,
Walking is a greater chore.
–
Discouragement isn’t cured
By increasing heartache endured…
Where can he find
Positive mind
Feeling he’s frequently skewered?
–
Walking with a cane hurts,
The pain’s unbearable spurts
Catch him off guard,
The productive bard
Feels like he’s getting worse.
