Safety saves

I fear

when you go far away

leaving me all alone to stay…

Oh dear!

Didn’t I always made it clear?

that I don’t feel safe

when you are not near…

…………………………. …………………………… ….

My brown eyes are wide open;

My breathing is loud and roaring

And my lungs are crumpled and collapsing;

I see angels hovering over my head

And dear ones loitering around my bed;

Doctor says, “His death is nearing”

Yet my soul is lingering

“Smoking is injurious to life”, I didn’t heed this warning;

Too late to regret

Before it’s too late, safeguard your health

As goes the saying, “Health is wealth”…

When travelling in crowded bus became my daily routine

I carried with me this secret weapon,

“Safety Pin”.,

——————————————————-

Multi-fractured skull bone

Concussion and confusion

Paraplegia caused by severe cerebral contusion

Now under medication and long-term rehabilitation

For I can’t walk on my own

because my helmet was not on……
