Noise is just noise

My thoughts never forget the pain

She is no DESPERADO yet treated as a piece of CRESS

Discarded as TWELFTH FIASCO ensues

Knowing the SNOOP set the fire of lies

She is no DESPERADO yet treated like a piece of CRESS

Quietly GRANNY sits while words RICOCHET like a CLACK in the silence.

The PLAYBACK in her mind is reminiscent of a GAVEL to wood

She is no DESPERADO yet treated like a piece of CRESS

Discarded as TWELFTH FIASCO ensues

i do too...relate to this...our dear relatives age and become someone different from what they were....

the present is in the back of their minds, but they have trouble getting it to the forefront..

the memories become long term, the short term is gone...

and they are treated with such disrespect sometimes...i have seen too much of it.

this poem speaks to me.

Wow.. I wrote this about how I feel but it's like you looked beyond my message and saw what else is going on. I take care of my mom, she lives with me. She has early dementia & it keeps both of us alone. My family lives as we spend time alone on weekends that used to be filled with cookouts & friends. It's so true what you said in your comments! Thank you once again for your wisdom & insight!

People can be selfish and even somewhat ignorant when it comes to those in sufferance and poor health!

So treat any so inflicted with respect and dignity for who knows what fate has in store ? Emotively penned !
