They all surround him life flies on a carcass
Contemplating about his end of days
He struggles to grasp little air
To see more days.
Maybe they had had enough of him
I think he owed them nothing
Not even gratitude
For them to observe his last breath.
A glass of milk would have helped maybe
But all their money was for the same water
That he took to lie like a specimen
Or it's all their journey; and they see their own end of race.
I can't help either
Not that he owes me nothing
Or... Am just like them
Watching an end of a race

An emotional write- death doing its routine and people doing theirs. Thanks, Dear Poet.
it was so sad to see how his 'friends' watched him die and did not help.
