Compulsion

Should we tell him?
That there are no medicines left
All our country’s doctors are on holiday –
All hospitals have been reconstructed a couple of years ago
Into large playgrounds for healthy yet incredibly ugly small children,
All nurses: they’re doing it with each other (without protection!)
Without interruption, without thinking of him (who is so sick)
Do you think he’ll go berserk if we tell him all this?

You’re right,
We better let him die –
It beats curing him.
