Triage (The Value of a Life)
How much is a life worth?
Do we calculate the value of
creativity?
How much is the value of age?
What price do we place on
genius?
How much is philosophy worth?
The decision of who lives and dies
Comes down to simple equations
But the numbers can never reflect
The true value of a human life
What if Einstein was diabetic?
What if Mother Teresa was too old?
What if Tesla was jobless?
What if Curie was too cold?
Shakespeare Mozart Blake the Beats
Would they make the grade?
Longfellow Wordsworth Sitting Bull
Yeats
Would modern medicine come to their
aid?
You can place a number on any thing
But its value remains a mystery
