they’ll prod and poke if you let them in

tearing the skin clean from the bone

mutilating the pleasure zone 

if you feel like switching genders, 

the advancement of known cancers

is a fantastic means of investment 

it’s a lucky dip, 

a cash-pot prize

pharmaceutical gods

will drug you till you die,

the slower the better

“She’s refusing all oral treatment

so let’s just inject her,

the doctors agree taking

a sly backhander” 

confined to a bed laying 

in her own piss 

whilst the pseudo specialists

take a good guess at it

I’m sick to fuck of all the lies

and how they dehumanise,

it’s laughable the care they’re providing 

due to incentive-linked prescribing

you want my adulation

for performing your occupation?

Fuck Off

I’ll never be able to describe 

the realisation of watching my wife

aligned for radiation,

it’s too much to take, 

knowing one day

she won’t be there when I wake,

witnessing your one and only soulmate

being served up on plate

right in front of your eyes

as the pseudo specialists try 

to explain their stance and procedure

whilst they just leave her

in a pain you can’t comprehend 

Where will they be when her life ends?

nowhere to be seen

they’ll be onto the next cash cow 

cutting and removing their spleen

and obliterating their skeleton
