The Protocol

 

In coffin beds
they let them lay
then ventilate
as families pray
 
Their protocol
is just one way
you must obey
do what they say
 

Move them around

they're in the way
free up a bed
a planned payday
 
The game goes on
only they can play
doctors simply look
the other way.

Wow. This really hits a nerve. The control persists even when we die?
Powerful dk.
