Kidney patients 2 : CREEPNESS

 

 

CREEPNESS

 

While rallying the creeps
this fuckin disease is a creeper
If our bodies were commodities they would be graduating equity for the reaper

1stly you’re in no position to anticipate Christmas
Science giveth
but science taketh away in the same process
squeezing nutrients out of you every second day
Teasing your life away as you officially become a morbidity

and not unlike Old Testament lepers part of such a community
An intimate sample
of the monstrosity we call society
Its pimps and pmipernells
The isolated, gentrificated , home boy , house boy , car crash , the new chav
she who has a mortgage in purgatory
the pessimistic journalistic
the dum dum
the simpleton
the quarenteenies who’ve been beyond
the James albeit Abu , Bond
salami bacon egos and insecurities
under a two tier systemic
The leaders and the lead
Introducing the ward brass
Those were the twelve beds

The uniformed ones ip and dip
and randomly crack a whip
Though credit due they do save lives ( I think)
and only metaphorically harbour knives
Their relevant characteristics live
between dim witted and sadomasochistic
as they seem to draw satisfaction from stupid or irresponsible or spiteful shit
How else would you describe a nurse sabotaging a patient over 100
times consecutively
irrefutably
since she first put him in a&e
prosecutably
I can bear witness since the victim is me
punished for questioning the pathetic that had exposed itself glaringly under light of complacency
and I was like the flower being crushed under the tower while confronting its power

and the head of the journalistic branch tells me it’s wrought with corruption
though I realised when talking of the most outspoken patient that head nurse said to me
“If he dies, he dies”
Shrug
Pout

From fraudulently filling in patients’ medical records

and getting it wrong
to sticking some of us with painful needles instead of the prescribed ones
Contradictory malpractice and lies go on and on

and by default of tangibility my most niggling bone of contention must be the audaciousness of daily condescension
delivered with an air of‘ I don’t care ‘

with a smidgen of pretence box ticking the protocol of public relations
as with lawyers , banks, politicians , the caring profession
where there’s no audit for integrity
and wages too insignificant to bribe commitment

Playing fool to catch wise often means taking it on the chin or even turning the other cheek
conceding ground like a wanker
while the bigger focus is on the notion that the only offered way out

is a lottery for cancer
