Oh cursed be the USA's WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOU/R HEALTH system
my father is an invalid
my mother nearly
and thanks to a lifetime of hard work
and a lifetime of believing in their country
their reward is
three hours of help per week
two hours for bathing
one for a nurse to say BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA
meaningless general advice
and empty cheerful smiles
doctors no better
they tell us the facts
usually very general
but do not acknowledge
and seem not to know what it means
to take care of a very sick person day and night
let alone two very weak and elderly people
day and night
I suffer alone
but not in silence
damn them all
I wish I had Dante's creative powers
to describe a suitable punishment
but no
I think of the lady who bathes my father:
she is poorly paid for her genuine contribution,
---no, she is not to blame
who then?
no person?
a system?
a damnable system
only a knave or a fool would defend it.....
