While She Lay Dying

Carol Roach

? 

The world continued as before,

On everyone's mind, the Iraqi war

And the eagle continues to soar

While she lay dying

? 

? 

No time to think of her you see,

There are victims of Katrina and tsunami

The world is in a state of catastrophe

While she lay dying

? 

? 

? 

Husband and children sat around and smoked

Not caring if she were to choke

taking lightly cancer of the throat

While she lay dying

? 

? 

? 

Where was the respect that she deserved

From the family she willingly served

Do not rock the boat do not disturb

while she lay dying

? 

? 

? 

Does she feel sadness or despair?

Does anyone really care?

The world, the family, anyone out there

While she lay dying
