A ceasefire is urgently needed to curb this rising death toll,

Joe Biden publically refuses to back a ceasefire role.

Biden appears to have given Israel the green light to end Palestinian lives , 

Possibly seeing a pro-Israeli stance as politically useful as their bond survives.

A ceasefire is the immediate optfion  to bring the conflict back from the brink,

During my life I safely held the water back as a damn,

Now I have given up that struggle and am what I am.

Life is a book where you turn page after page,

Joyfully live your life and forget your age.

The thoughts of being at death's door I try to block,

But the truth is on the door I am afraid to knock.

Dying is a very cruel,dreary affair being lowered into a pit,

And have never been in a state like this before,the city is in a mess.

Is to sit down with the recipient and be nice.

And find out what the recipient is desiring,

Let your word yes mean yes and your word no mean no,

If you are kind people will like you.

She became a passive smoker as in her cot she lay.

Her lungs the size of plums filled up with cruel smoke,

When her mother heard her coughing it really made her choke.

As your chest runs out of breath,

It fills the air with darkness,

And leads to certain death.

Self-control must be embedded in a child's brain from an early age,

Children with greater self-control are less likely to suffer depression or rage.

And less likely as adults to have health issues ,financial stress and problems with the law.

Instilling to much self-control in their brains will definitely not be a flaw.

The N.HS..  is a miraculous gift bestowed upon us by Aneurin Bevan,

We are all born in it,die in it, on our path to heaven.

The daily miracles performed by our health workers must be kept alive,

Something so fundamental in our history,must survive.

Clapping on our doorsteps and celebrating births is all very well,

But the N.H.S. we must protect, it's loss would be shere hell.
