RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS
Corporate Healthcare
Corporations have a place
(at the moment I’m not sure where)
But it is certain on its face
That it’s not in medical care
When profit is your motive
You are bound to come up short
Your only interest then becomes
Staying out of court
How many people die
Because they didn’t have the care
The nurses and the doctors
To protect the corporate share?
Let them dominate the markets
Let them buy the corporate chains
But when it comes to hospitals
The profit motive is insane
The people know by instinct
When we need a helping hand
The last place we would turn to
Wears a corporate brand
