The Threshold

"It's deeply disturbing,"
What else could Justin say?
Nursing home conditions amid Covid,
Bring disgust and dismay,

Canadian military came in,
To try to help them out,
They found cockroaches, rotten food and flies,
While the pleas from residents left no doubt,

Overworked and probably scared, as well,
Plus, maybe, just not good,
Some employees left patients in their chairs,
Amid their piss and poop.
It is a shame,
The world's fragility,
Never mind when things are the status quo,
Stress on the system leads to travesty.
