You! You! You! I will write it down
Frail as I am I will endeavor to make it known
A matter to condemn not just with a frown
Life and death the absolute right of Providence
To treat the ill to the best of one's ability
Have they forgotten the Oath solemnly taken?
Hippocrates will turn in his grave bodily
Life and soul gravely shaken
Death can occur at any age a divine choice
The aged may not be the first to go in life
Doctors to sustain and care not to appear lost
The aged are not to be an easy sacrifice

Well said, Hank. The health care professionals have their hands full these days. I can hardly believe what we are (hopefully) living through. Love your last line.
ReplyDeleteImagine during the Spanish flu of 1918 they faced a very similar battle without benefit of modern technology. Today, we had a Zoom cyber-meeting with son and wife, their 3 children and 4 grandchildren with ability to see one another and converse via computer. What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully spoken Hank! So very true!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange, confusing, frightening world we find ourselves living in. Stay well, Hank.
ReplyDeleteGreat write, Hank. Maybe we should also remember another Hippocrates quote too: “There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.”
ReplyDeleteYeah, doesn't matter the age, but the aged sure get singled out, sadly.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter the age we are all important.
ReplyDeleteWell said Hank, all no matter the age have the desire to live. We are all important.
ReplyDeleteYes!! Thank you...Everyone has worth!
ReplyDeleteFor certain!

Somebody before me messed you up with gibberish. You are right, Hank, us older are more frail. Some make it seem that if we were sacrificed the virus would go away. That does put a guilt trip in us. My grandmother died of the flu in 1917 my mom was six. Mom brought it home from school and felt guilt the rest of her life for killing her mother.

Good one, Hank. We depend blindly on our health care workers, and the government.
