Of friendship, and your professional eyes saw the man

But not the shadow, you saw human kindness, but did

Not feel the rough coat of the creature following it’s

Nose along the trail of your hard earned coins.

Large predator eyes staring into your future.salivating

With the thought of your pending demise,teeth baring

With the frustration that blood still pumps through your

Veins.An appetite for death, your death, and while you

Live you are blinded by weakness, age has brought you

Vulnerability,fragility,worry and you want to believe he

Is friend, but had you young eyes to see then you would

See all of what tells you he is greed. He is patiently waiting

For all that is yours, all that you think he so deserves for

Looking after you,so why does he never sit with you? Why

Does he limit your care, why does he ensure his future pot

Of gold while he is happy to see you starve.In the world

Of imagination this could be a twisted fairytale but in the

real world it is the wolves both he and she that I find in the

World of Care!

Hi Anna, You're so right! When my late uncle was in the nursing home for the last 4 months of his life there were so many poor souls that only ever had visitors when it had been reported to them that he/she was ill. Obviously the well-being of their relative was not the top priority. Sad to say but I believe their top priority was to come and see if this would be his/hers last illness. You've put it so succinctly here. Well said. Tommy

Very well said. There's no doubt this is true, the elderly are oft taken advantage of. But at the same time I believe that the vulnerability and fragility you mention has a second side to it: as one nears death particularly, it only makes sense that traits such as empathy, forgiveness, and detachment from material things are amplified. These people are more likely to see (and value) the good in others, sympathise with them and forgive their faults, and see the bigger picture. We'll all be dead soon enough, anyway!

I had to deal with vultures when I had to put my Mom in a nursing home. I only had to deal with it temporarily. I can partially imagine dealing with it all the time. After all, the same vultures shop where I work. Those types help to fuel my disappointment in some people.

So sad but so true. At least you can write about it.

Thank you for sharing your insight into another part of the seedy world.
