It is a pity that many people are on dialysis.
Doctors and medical scientists will agree
that no one has ever invented a " wonder pill ",
just to heal not to kill.
Till then , we can discard the expensive dialysis machines.
Twice or thrice a week, needles prick kidney patients' skins.
Bloody tubes are common scenes in many dialysis centres,
to clear them of unwanted impurities.
Patience, tolerance, endurance and perseverance they have to bear.
Not only their spouses, parents, siblings, relatives and friends care,
dreams of being healthy and having tasteful meals they won't dare.
Anxiety and stress prevail within the families involved.
Life-time savings and funds will eventually be wiped out.
Yet, greatest hope is always within their minds and hearts.
Praying for a miraculous turn of events to happen
that donors may present them with new leases of lives.
