While She Lay Dying

By Carol Roach

The world continued as before,
On everyone's mind, the Iraqi war
And the eagle continues to soar
While she lay dying

No time to think of her you see,
There are victims of Katrina and tsunami
The world is in a state of catastrophe
While she lay dying

Husband and children sat around and smoked
Not caring if she were to choke
Taking lightly cancer of the throat
While she lay dying

Where was the respect that she deserved?
From the family she willingly served
Do not rock the boat do not disturb
While she lay dying

Does she feel sadness or dispair?
Does anyone really care?
The world, the family, anyone out there?
While she lay dying
