filter the blood
the good the bad
filter through the dark
through the light,
rejuvenate what was once so unholy
make it clean
wipe the dirt from the mouth
wipe away lives from the control you have
reject new ones
and leave people hanging from tubes
dialysis is just mere hope
from the mere tremors you place on families
you don’t know what family is
dear kidneys
kidneys cannot here the wrath of the screams of the children
which lay their fathers to their grave
6 feet under
mine lays without parts
which had to be replaced by others.
