a more 'poetically correct' argument along similar lines... ;)<br />
<br />
"A Patient's Patience, Patent Pending (My Vote On Election Day)"<br />
<br />
Patients' patience, patent pending- pouring out estimations<br />
Pandering- lying, maybe; miserable mornings mourning decimations<br />
Poor, uninsured, 'needy'? needing what? doctors or brothers, sisters<br />
Absent from voting on election day- nursing selves, circling- blisters<br />
Always burn until they are healed- and once done healing re-blister<br />
Adding up to calluses- still feeling…

"A Patient's Patience, Patent Pending (My Vote On Election Day)"<br />
<br />
Patients' patience, patent pending- pouring out estimations<br />
Pandering- lying, maybe; miserable mornings mourning decimations<br />
Poor, uninsured, 'needy'? needing what? doctors or brothers, sisters<br />
Absent from voting on election day- nursing selves, circling- blisters<br />
Always burn until they are healed- and once done healing re-blister<br />
Adding up to calluses- still feeling pain- anxious about the direction wished for<br />
Them- wondering, worried, willing to make a change but they still remain<br />
Tied, tethered, terrified- talking to staff, not the doctors with insane<br />
Time slots, case loads- back and forth carrying charts- essentially ensuring<br />
Imminent and immediate endangerment- not for lack of caring, only enduring<br />
In a dutiful disaster of paperwork ploys, 'diagnosing'- 'scripting'- a 'cure'?<br />
Incompetent? no, only overworked and weary- working diligently with pure<br />
Empathy- errors induced only by an overload, understaffed and racing<br />
Entangled in webs of worthless phone tag while their patients are pacing<br />
Emptied or enraged by over-medication- conversations among patients ensue<br />
Needling one another, violence, drugs, quiet, suicidal- 1:1- threatening to sue<br />
Never getting what they desire- apparently not even what they need<br />
Needlessly suffering, soulfully shouting- doubting their doctors will heed<br />
Tales of toil- tiring of waiting for actual treatment- feeling tormented<br />
Tending to rush past as patients assist staff- truly this is sanity upended<br />
Totally depending on each other- accepting reality as they slowly conversate<br />
Sometimes incomprehensibly, others courteously, carefully and / or coarsely<br />
Soaking up rays occasionally, more often locked in / out / in- next to the gate<br />
Smoking cigarettes and pleading- "Fresh Air!" without the freedom... hoarsely<br />
Perilously pouring out their hearts- no privacy, though, which is impeding<br />
Permanently, honestly- honesty; and without it how will their doctors heal them?<br />
Patients are willing to say anything 'on stage'- in the middle of a 'show'<br />
A stumbling stab at what they actually feel when all that's necessary's talk, to go<br />
Away from it all- one-on-one- beyond locked doors: even a walk down the hall<br />
Apparently, under current conditions, this true type of care is unavailable- ‘talk’<br />
Time spent speaking with doctors in front of all will only disable and trouble<br />
Tempting them to tell tales, yell- causing others and themselves to be seen as impossible<br />
Tearing up, shredding a chance of release as the meds kick in and make them delirious<br />
Irritated and irate at the immediate evidence of their not being listened to. through<br />
Insuring their own extended stays: who IS getting paid? checks, money- i’m serious...<br />
I am sure of it- someone is certainly paying for our unnecessary medications, too<br />
Endlessly circling vultures avoiding policies- with their voracious appetites- murderers<br />
Early rising, late dozing: instead of patient sleep- the preference- restless, disturbed<br />
Every ounce of energy spent taking chances-- wasted, wanting, unwitting; a reference<br />
Nothing that’s supplied here except supplements, vitamins, will vitalize the preference<br />
[Normal] days in the Intensive Treatment Unit- (I.T.U.)- made into a blur by RAIDERS<br />
Nearly home, only waiting- for someone, anyone to come and re-assure them of everything<br />
Cost / benefit analysis of a trained economist? sheer, corporate, GREED endangers<br />
Catching us in a system designed to deflect treatment- someone is surely holding the purse strings<br />
Capturing, controlling, courting, counting- committing, omitting- capitol offenses<br />
Ensured by policies prescribed by politicians and insurance companies’ lobbyists<br />
Every dime spent an inflation- an inflammation intended to deflate CONFIDENCE<br />
Entering and collecting- data-driven, criminal middle-men- my vote: DEATH TO INSURANCE!@?
