Crows Cry Conveniently

Questions for her

So, you cared for the people in the hospital

Brought them medicines, comforted them with needles

And at home, your role has been reversed

How could it be?

That there was a defect in a benevolent nature

Transcending god’s will

Hippocratic Oath ‘Do not harm’

Turned into a swamp

From your mouth

Expressing only unimaginable words

Did your supervisors know

How badly damaged your brain is?

How can you live on both sides:

Legal and criminal at the same time?

Which side are you on?

You were supposed to decide a long time ago

Are you balancing badly on both?

How could it be?

With one foot in the prison and the other in the courtroom

Telling who is right and who is wrong

Where there was no amiss

From my side

And you knew it perfectly well

When you threaded that toxin down my throat

And the view became translucent

For all those

Who couldn’t believe it

As you didn’t breathe life into it

Your cold calculation has cooled down

Nobody believed your lie

You shouldn’t be selling yourself so cheap

To these lowlife creatures

But I guess if you fly with the crows, you will get shot with the crows

This is how this life goes

Good luck, you made the choice

Of being the person, I never intended to meet

And you made yourself perfectly clear

That your blonde attitude

Could only be tolerated

By the same scum as your crowd
