Here's another song I want to work on.

This one is a bit morbid...I was regression testing a server making sure all the applications still worked after performing some updates....one of the documents was a list of residents and how much they weighed by month. Some of them had 3 letters in the column under a particular month and no more weights were recorded for that resident. The letters were "dc'd".

DC'd

 

Staring at a list

shows names in a home

the numbers that represent

a person all alone

 

the column on the left

shows a real name

i think i have some friends

that have the same

 

as you move to the right

you start to realize

that these are real people

nearing the ends of their lives

 

looking at their progress

i see nothing is guaranteed

especially not tomorrow

some on the list are marked dc'd

 

a nurse in a hall

a sweet heart nothing less nothing more

a job that sees it every day

residents sitting at deaths door

 

i look in the mirror

and as i am staring back at me

we'll all be on that list

we'll all be marked dc'd

 

dc'd

dc'd

deceased
