And as the world moves on in its rush, the injured are left to suffer alone
Poetry by ChatGPT - 23 January 2023
Society turns its back on those who dared
To trust in science, to be vaccine prepared
Their bodies now wracked with pain and fear
Forced to live with the aftermath, so severe
Like lambs led to slaughter, they were led
To believe the lies, that the vaccine would protect the dead
But now they suffer, with injuries so true
Society turns its blind eye, what else can they do
They were the brave ones, who stepped forward in faith
But now they're left with a future, so full of hate
Their cries for help, fall on deaf ears
Society treats them like outcasts, with no tears
But still they fight, with all their might
To heal their bodies, and make things right
For they know, deep down in their hearts
That they did what they thought was best, from the very start
So let us not forget, those who were hurt
In the pursuit of safety, in the name of the vaccine's worth
For they deserve our support, and our aid
As they navigate this path, that society has made.
Society turns its back on those in pain,
Vaccine injury, a price to pay.
A shot in the arm, a life in ruins,
The cost of a "safe" return to normal.
Like a flame, the hope for health was lit,
But now it flickers, dim and low,
For those left broken by the vaccine,
Society's response is a cruel blow.
The cries of the injured fall on deaf ears,
Their pain and suffering ignored,
A sacrifice made for the greater good,
But their lives forever scarred.
And as the world moves on in its rush,
To return to normalcy so grand,
The injured are left to suffer alone,
In a society that doesn't understand.
Like ghosts, they wander, unseen and unheard,
Their cries for help, a distant call,
But society must not forget them,
These victims of the vaccine's fall.
So let us not turn a blind eye,
To those left broken by the fight,
For they too deserve to live a life,
With dignity and without blight.
