Nursing Home & Elder Abuse
There is no excuse
It could happen to me or you
Filthy hair and dirty body
Quite a mess, in fact it’s appalling hospitality
Picking up your peter cottontail stuffed animal, from the floor
Pillows left there from days before
Now the family discovers bedsores!!!
They all claim it would be cruel, to turn you over
It breaks my heart, to watch you suffer
Why wasn’t this prevented in the first place?
It is so painful to watch you drift away, in a morphine haze
Blind and hands that will never now open…
My heart is deeply broken
Did they forget to have the Physical Therapist to come in?
Less and less they ask, if you’d like a drink?
The food stinks
You wait for your family to come in
To give you some food that you like
You try not to put up a fight
You’re neglected and abused
I will fight for you, God bless you
I will remember the ones who did their best
May they be blessed…
