Doctor's ConcienceA Poem by Gerhardus Retief
As The Doctor Look The Child In The Eyes
Knowing The Little Child's Time Is Running Out They Just Wish They Could Do Something All They Can Do Is Lie To Sooth Their Pain They Fall In Line One At A Time They Don't Even Know How Far The Sickness Is Spreading However They Stay There Holding The Child's Hand Holding Their Fate In Mind Mom And Dad Always Cry When They Come To Visit The Little Child Doesn't Know Why Only Explanation They Can Give Is Of Joy That Their Child Will Be Finally Released Soon But They Know Its Not Out Of The Hospital They Just Spoil The Confused Child Now Bringing The Child's Favorite Food Playing The Child's Favorite Music As It Can Be The Last Time The Child Will Ever Have It Shattered The Doctor Leaves The Room Falling To His Knees Where He Cannot Be Found Even Though The Guilty Conscience Will Find Him Follow Him To The Dark Border Line Of Guilt Crying For An Answer Why Its Up To Him To Do This The Memory Will Never Rest It Never Forgets What The Parents Will Lose Would This Doctor Have Switched Places With The Child? At Least The Child Would Die Happy © 2011 Gerhardus Retief |
