When I Walk Through The Halls Of A Hospital Poem by Gert Strydom

When I Walk Through The Halls Of A Hospital



When I walk through the halls
of a hospital
and the floors do gleam around me,
while the smell of disinfectant
and medicine hangs in the air

while everywhere I see downhearted faces,
and some of the nurses are smiling
then I am aware
of the will to live

and how fatal
human existence
really is.
