Dr Death
Accident and emergency
where they promise to save life
this doctor ended it
hands that should have held
only pressed down harder
eyes that should have seen
looked past, blind to pain
the monitors flickered
numbers that should mean hope
turned cold, meaningless
as the breath slowed
and then stopped
voices whispered
as if grief could be shared
but none reached the one
who mattered most
the walls stayed white
the floor stayed clean
while a life
crumbled into silence
how many times
how many faces
how many pleas
were ignored
before this one
fell
there is no excuse
no mercy
no saving grace
only the weight
of a doctor’s hands
that failed
nothing but shadows
nothing but echoes
a life ended
in a room meant for saving patients
