This is for you the ones who patronize
The ones who blame illness on an impossible guise
The ill who are weary and are seeking out care
You know who you are and you are truly not there
When a patient is broken and too tired to speak
When inside they are dying and they are too weak
When they show up at your office for the last inkling of hope
When your very words or your actions might destroy how one copes
If nothing is done, or excuses are made
If you brush them, aside or a junk diagnosis is played
When you treat them like they are ignorant
When you take the last shred of dignity away
Too bad you couldn't feel what they are going through
For the course of one single day!
