Two sit in the waiting room
Side by side, same diagnosis
And maybe will reach the same end
At different times
One can survive while the other doesn’t
It is not just about life and death,
It is also about every intricate thing
And the whole of his being
Both are on shaky ground
Two pairs of arms lifted to the sky
But only one gets pulled above
Isn’t it unfair?
And maybe that is what life is,
But it shouldn’t be.
Everyone has the right to life
Who are we to crush it?
Reality hits like a wake-up call
The places a person is at,
And the status he stands on,
Holds the care one receives by its throat
And the truth is, both can be saved
If given the chance, if given the same opportunity to live
But the gap gets bigger and bigger
When do we close it?
