A Realization Poem by Marvin Brato Sr
A Realization
(While lying on a hospital bed for 2 weeks)
As I lay on a hospital bed
with medications I direly need
for treatment of urinary infection
with antibiotic through IV injection
such ordeal I suffer is quite biologic
triggered by my lingering diabetic.
My diabetes has been seven years now
either hereditary or lifestyle can't tell how
but one thing I am sure its much food I devour
the culprit why my blood sugar increases in an hour
been taking oral dose of Metformin to control my glucose
yet didn't stop formation of kidney calculi triggering the cause.
Truth is the fact that I have been in defiance
having not followed exactly my oral maintenance
that I neglected to take on time all my medications
this may be the reason that resulted to complications
having thought of my condition that I now suffer for life
a realization that prevention is better than cure stops strife.
Being in a hospital bed is quite a warning
not only for me but for everybody's' learning
that discipline is the key to one's own betterment
in living a healthy life or stay good in whatever intent
for life is short that we must not abuse our human body
anything in excess is not good, a realization for everybody.
Being in a hospital bed is quite a warning not only for me but for everybody's' learning, , , yes thats true, , , people those who loves us are the ones who feel the pain of our illness, , , wonderful poem and a positive message in the end, , ,
This is a beautiful poem of original thoughts.10/10. 'for life is short that we must not abuse our human body anything in excess is not good, a realization for everybody.' Thank you for sounding this warning for your readers. You have very lucidly and elaborately described how illness can aggravate if life's discipline is not maintained. Hope you have left the hospital by now. If not, wishing you the quickest recovery and God's Blessings.

Marvin, my wife is diabetic so I'm acutely aware of the health issues related to this affliction. A few years back she ended up with a diabetic ulcer in her right heel.....when first diagnosed we were warned that she may lose her right foot but after nearly 22 months of treatment the wound finally healed over and her foot was saved. Thanks God! I note that you're a prolific poet, I don't know that I'll find the time to review all your poems but I'll certainly be looking a a few more. Cheers & best wishes.
