Better Off Dead Poem by Mustafa Marconi

Better Off Dead



Man gets shot in the head
He’s alive though better off dead He’s lost use of his limbs, his arms and his legs Restricted to shaking and nodding his head
Man gets shot in the head
They took his money and left him for dead
Refuse to lay down thus sentence to die
By fool with a weapon and a sharpshooters eyes
Man gets shot in the head Bullets removed they left him for dead
No insurance nor coverage because he opted instead
To use the last of his savings so his kids could be fed Man gets shot in the head
To his wife and four children
He’s better off dead
Restricted to living on a full size bed
Now his family must live to suffer and beg
