Septic Shock

Walked in on your own feet, left on a stretcher
Simple infection, delayed care
Crowded hallway, exhausted doctor
Gutted system, embezzled funds

While the money disappeared into a report
Your body went into shock in the line

Septic shock
The body turns against itself
Septic shock
Just like the system that abandoned you

It wasn't the bacteria that arrived first
It was the missing bed, the missing spot
It was the signature on top of the funds
That should have bought your antibiotics

Septic shock
The body turns against itself
Septic shock
Just like the system that abandoned you

How many die waiting
Who could have been saved with what was stolen?

Septic shock
Multiple failure, of organs and of governance
Septic shock
The state is also in collapse

Just like the system that abandoned you
