In A Reflective Mood Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

(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.
