The Operating Table

Folder: 
Discipline

The gurney comes in the room.
The body lifeless,
the heart fairly beating.

 

The hope of life
to continue in this
man, fades.

 

The doctors do not know
why this happened.
That information is not known.

 

Yet, there he lies
a breath away from death,
possibly freedom.

 

If the doctors save him,
will he change?
will he learn from his mistakes?

 

Will he live by
his own selfish motives?
Not giving a damn about others?

 

When does one look
at one's life?
When death comes knocking?

 

Should he live,
he ought to weigh his actions,
and maybe change now.

 

Before he comes back through
these doors and
he flat lines.
