Black Ribbon
November 27, 2013 - in the spirit of today's "Doctor Free Day"
No white coats today, they say
Everyone dressed up like a mourning
while through the wards and hallways they went a-wandering
Black ribbons adorning their sleeves
just above the deltoid, waving like carbonized leaves
Opinions swirled and flown
Debates heated up, confrontations and words blown
in the last sighs of late November
Few seemed to keep their heads sober
Most were drunk with the old question, "Who's right and who's wrong?"
No voice asked "What needs to be done instead of singing the same old song?"
I came to notice I've grown jaded...
My own faith in voices had by then faded
As my curious eyes peeked into the clinic
For some folks up there, this still ain't a huge picnic
