Broken Back

can you Imagine?
to lay a tortured body to rest?
a day that begins on one day
& ends 3 hours before the next
dollars may fill my pockets,
but the wounded and broken back
still cannot heal &
will not heal.

A man who cannot bend does
   not bend in the storm
A man who cannot bend to touch
   his toes, does not stop to think
   about the consequences of
A Broken Back
