Thoughts - 5. Sold for survival
A hospital bed, a dollar sign,
The scalpel cuts for profit, not kind.
Thirty percent of bills inflate,
Care den ied while the rich dictate.
Health’s not a business, lives aren’t a trade,
But survival’s a cost they’ve coldly made.
Overworked nurses, CEOs in green,
A system of profit where care’s unseen.
Pills that cost just cents to make,
Sold at prices lives can’t take.
A hundred hours for minimum care,
While billionaires just sit and stare.
Health’s not a business, lives aren’t a trade,
But survival’s a cost they’ve coldly made.
Overworked nurses, CEOs in green,
A system of profit where care’s unseen.
One in five can’t pay their debt,
Lives reduced to a fiscal threat.
Behind closed doors, the deals are made,
While healing turns into a debt parade.
Health’s not a business, lives aren’t a trade,
But survival’s a cost they’ve coldly made.
Overworked nurses, CEOs in green,
A system of profit where care’s unseen.
Who will rise when the system falls?
When care’s no longer behind their walls?
Till then, the sick must pay their dues,
In a world where health’s a game to lose.
Who will rise when the system falls?
