Once upon a Crime ...

The hospital I enter in,
Clocked in, time to let the fun begin. 
Got my coffee in hand. 
Stethoscope around neck,
For breath sounds check
Still early, but I'm awake
Headache from last night drinking
I try to shake from 2 motrins I take 
At Bed 1: I overheard a woman say
"Dear Lord dont take my baby today" 
As I watch the mother pray standing over her son shot in the chest and face
On life support sedated , restrained because he's altered and agitated 
Barely making it 
Vital signs, sometimes falling behind, 
The 2 blood transfusions seem to have helped him 
Semi stabilized
The only thing saved him was his hand that took most of the shots, 4 fingers now lost, 
as it blocked his head, his last words before we intubated 
He said Was " please, don't let me die please... " soo many young men watched deceased 
Watched mothers scream, yell 
WHY as they cling to their son and his bloody sheets 
And again tomorrow it repeats
The hardest are never the ones on the streets or on a HIPHOP beat
But the family's in pain , dealing with a loved one slained
If u only see what we see, 
Theres more to the story, never No glory
Life is meerily not a dream
Like once upon a time, 
More like once upon a crime
No time to wipes my eyes, 
In my room 2
I got a baby by the age of 2
Bruised and sexually abused by mommys boyfriend 
Drunk after drinking dry gin
...He did it again 
Who's to blame the boyfriend?
Or mommy thats sick, 
With tummy tuck and fake tits, again pregnant, abortion 6 times, still smoking cigarettes 
Positive for cocaine 
Cuz she can give a shit
Only cares about smoking crack, sucking dick, 
when she gonna learn ?
And gets offended 
By questions from social Work, like " WEre did your baby get these cigarette burns ?" 
Another chapter, to another page it's turned
Each day is a something new, each day is another issue, 
Some is funny shit 
I dare not kid you
Like this one guy coming in all high , feeling he's gonna die 
Anxious & restless 
Telling me, he ate for the first time, weed brownies
I tell em 
" look theres other people with bigger problems, I'll be right with You just have a seat
Stop acting HP"
He says HP ? 
I say classic symptoms, of Hispanic Panic "definitely 
acting like "I can't Brief" ...
Maybe not too funny, but that shots funny to me
But time...
Take my break, outside
For a small breather for relief
Say to myself "good grief" 
But I know , tomorrow is never promised, &
take the moment to say thank you, 
tell a love one "Love you", and
Course to the one above you
don't be a thug, give a hug lol
But not to the wrong one, just might catch a slug
or from a female "catch the bug"
Today might be our last
but it's only a guess, treat each other with respect
And love never forget..
Damn ...5 minutes late
Gotta clock back in ..
