Wisdom Tooth Poem by Ragy Sandid

Is it wisdom
To take out one's tooth?
A tooth the may
Have told one the truth?

While the dentist
Feeds you the lie
Take it out or else
You're gonna …die?

There's the scene
The dentist and the patient
Dentist walks fatter
Patient less gracious

All for a hand
Of canine cash cards
One loses a tooth
The other leaves a scar

But who's gonna see it?
It's the wisdom tooth
Only the pain parted
Tells one the truth

When all is done
They say you need a new one
One wonders who lost
And who won?

The patient is patient
Till the last hanging of ivory
The dentist is impatient
Lessening of life is a victory
