One Tooth, and Above Thousand Dollars!

Anger is not a good thing,

but that is what

I am feeling right now.

Of many suitors,

I chose my spouse.

He is a self-made man

from a humble background.

My goal was to

to help him,

all ways possible,

financially sure too.

But when situations,

turn against you,

you cannot do much.

I remained dependent,

or has short job stints.

I was still fine,

thinking with my frugal manners,

I am not draining,

his slim savings,

in this costly land.

But today,

for fixing one molar tooth,

we paid twelve hundred dollars!

When even ten dollars

is not easy to come by,

by cerebral writing,

that amount for one tooth,

feels outrageous.

I am not only

not fattening his wallet,

but making a major dent.

I am really very angry.

First, they inflame us

with endless chemicals.

Then, in the name

of high-end care,

they suck us dry.

I feel like a parasite

for no fault of my own.
