A Dying Old Man is Tossed Away

 A Dying Old Man is Tossed Away

By Mike Garofalo

A skinny old man of brittle bones
failing in a screwed dementia brain,
family all dead, all alone,
living in a small ratty group home,
a penniless unknown on Medicaid,
can't think straight, can't vote.

Wears a red MAGA hat
put on his unwise hairless head
by a cruel Nurse Ratched Republican
as a joke.

Millionaire heartless political renegades
with visions of fancy expensive escapades
decide that Medicaid is welfare graft so
buy votes for a pompous fat stupid Axe
Cutting the helpless brainless man
Off of Uncle Sam's Medicaid rolls.

Where will he go?

Shame, shame on American ways.

God will no longer bless America;
He is disgusted and dismayed.

"Politics can be the graveyard of a poet;
and only poetry can be his resurrection."
- Langston Hughes
