Bugs Life Poem by Daniel Bernard Kelleher

Am feeling very lonely
stuck here on my own
Seeing at depression
And how it takes hold

Restriction on visitors
To see how I am doing
All because of a bug
Hospital in lockdown

A week has passed
Since I saw my wife
Not good for my recovery
I can imagine how she feels

Staff here comes as they pleased
What precaution they take or do
At least they see their families
Before going and after work

The amount of elderly patients
Stuck within those walls
That one time protected us
Now they act as prison bars

Their trying to segregate patients
Keeping the healthy and weak apart
Making sure not to pass the bug
Future down the wards
