Dissimulate Invalidity - Inherit Disease

Shades of gangreous grey

Starts at the toes

Wounds that do not heal

Slowly it grows

Plastic bag

Draped over the limbs

Hiding the stench

Geriatric masochism

Engorged with fluid

Bag suffocated

Waterlogged, blackened feet

Toes obliterated

Resembling legs

Washed up on the shore

Hidden from the world

Geriatric masochism

Desperation evident

Amputation eminent

They perform the operation

There cutting of the feet

Amateur amputation

They burn the stubs of meat

Unable to hide

The horror is now discovered

Order the task

Of truncation

Unable to hide

The body is now dismembered

Order the task

Of truncation
