John fell on the kitchen floor and laid there....
Minutes? Hours? Days? He sighs he 'don't know.'
They're sending him to a nursing home for care
as autonomy takes a final blow.
My mom says the home has a urine smell,
but she supposes they all do these days.
A war veteran trapped, his final hell
Drug-zombie warehouse in Medicare maze.
A few times John saved my Mema from death
when she fell down, shaking and incontinent.
Now John's grandkids break in and commit theft;
ransacking his papers, checkbooks, and rent.
An American hero's drowning end:
at the bottom of the deep blue ocean.
