Unlimited sufferings and miseries
Taking shelter in this abode
Helplessness fighting
Tooth and nail with despondency
Not easy to gauge
The depth of patient's emotions when
The life takes an escape route
From the clutches of death often.
A new world it is
Boasting of to- letting pain
Hung between hope and despair
A winner takes it all
and smiles
Loser might have blessed the Death
for end of one's misery.

love this unique take on a place that heals and sometimes turns one of no return.
A hospital is a place where life and death hang in a balance.... For many it is a place to get a new start in life., yet for another group it is the final terminus.. Vividly pictured the agony of hospital life!
Beautiful way you have portrayed the picture of patient and hospital. The concluding lines are beautiful.. Winner takes it all, while looser is blessed with death freed from pain thereafter..poets notes indicate poets mother is the winner, who came with all the smiles. Yes, those who are waiting outside ICU too suffers a lot...loved the way you portrayed it.
