The clothes she wore were twenty years old
Tattered and torn not much protection from the cold
The rusty cart she pushed with wheels well worn
The hair on her head needed to be shorn

Slowly into the emergency...

She wears her dress gown
and trying to sneak away
So the nurse won't see her
 Texting her friend in the USA

I'm a doctor who murdered a man in the OR.
I lost my medical license and I'm behind bars.

I spent almost month in a hospital room
This ever worst sick was so much and doom.
Chilling so bad in a mild quiet night,
Freezing to death like I was losing my sight.

Lying on a white bed...
