The doctors gave up.
All savings dried up.
Children, where?
At this time he doesn't care.
He peers at what's left
Of his life and the heaps
And heaps of loneliness
Terrifies him--
So this Oldman chokes
His ailing wife to death
And kills himself to escape
The inevitable misery.
Elsewhere, another Oldman
Screams daily thrice
From the kitchen to take
Cooking lessons from
His bedridden wife,
As life must go on.
