Here neatly side by side these rotted steels Cancerous rust peeled off paints lay idle Progress put halt these **** grown wheels The sad pale ghosts of once was tireless angels In unknown graveyard of ambulances There's silence. But whistling birds in a tree Not like sirens blared heard far distances Cut through traffic like ships divide the sea Wings on fire ferrying perilous load Sick and dying dire need to hospital Mother's in labour mishap on the road Saviour of lives young, old and critical Where mankind employs, mankind destroys Hollowed vans left to whims like broken toys.

Sonnet; Graveyard Of Ambulances
Here neatly side by side these rotted steels Cancerous rust peeled off paints lay idle Progress put halt these **** grown wheels The sad pale ghosts of once was tireless angels In unknown graveyard of ambulances There's silence. But whistling birds in a tree Not like sirens blared heard far distances Cut through traffic like ships divide the sea Wings on fire ferrying perilous load Sick and dying dire need to hospital Mother's in labour mishap on the road Saviour of lives young, old and critical Where mankind employs, mankind destroys Hollowed vans left to whims like broken toys.
I came across a field of discarded ambulances. Sad to see them left in the mercy of the sun and the rain. As if their previous efforts had gone in vain.
