Look What Poem by Christina Simmons

Look What



Lets all stick together we're a gang!
When mistakes are made become like birds of a feather - not utter a single word - pretend we don't know A thing!
Play the innocent party

Never mind what we did to her!
Won't remember nothing! Be a virtual dummy
A mere vegetable; incapable of moving limbs
Won't feel! Won't talk!

Will not have the foggiest what was done to her
Lets play around - treat simply like cats'-paw, CUR a worthless dog Botched job; A blander cause we're really cowboys
Essential nerves messed up! Autonomic nervous system - immune system
Completely kaput!

Should survive existence sheer nightmare;
Will beg for liberation from HELL: won't know where to turn or what to do - Headless chicken!

Frankensteins' monster or Quasimodo - plain hideous: looked upon with disgust and repulsion, - literally sneered at: surgeons were responsible changing body, features rearranged inhuman!

Not even plastic surgery can corrected our masterpiece... Tee hee!
Load of MAD MEN hiding behind our professionalism
Unimportant! Just another uneducated Poor Black Patient!
Never again will she smile at her daughters or the grand-kids

Much has been stolen from me - what must I do? What can I do?
Cry always for what's absent from me? Woe for my loss
Keeping peace of mind - eternally retain my sanity

When staring through the mirror not adept to see
a smiling face instead sorrow looks back....forgiveness of the heart: So what NO great looker! ?
Pure of character that really matters

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Admitted in hospital to have procedure of what was supposed to be minor; an acoustic neuroma removed, end up being a fight for life. Wrote poem after coming to the realization of blander - where I've turnout a virtual broken disabled, disfigured woman; caused by the trainee surgeons who worked for NHS, the patient me, finding forgiveness in my heart towards them. And to carry on with the rest of my life.
