The Chosen One

I lay helpless, violated by tubings,
Limbs tied along the bedside post.
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed,
Senses evading me, unaware ever.

Movements swift, they moved on,
Murmurs coherent, innovations stark.
Senses evading me, unaware ever,
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed.

Turned on my back, scrubbed clean,
Swabs, incisions, swift fingers plying.
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed,
Senses evading me, unaware ever.

The hands violating me, probing,
Gentle incisions, spinal cord cut.
Senses evading me, unaware ever,
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed.

Suturing my bleeding back, he stood,
Terming myself the chosen one.
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed,
Senses evading me, unaware ever.

I hear the jubilation rise around me,
A scapegoat- I, and your research-fruitful.
Senses evading me, unaware ever,
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed.

A single bolt of pain, I jerk forth in pain,
Seizures capturing me, one last time.
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed,
Senses evading me, unaware ever.

Neuro science, newer innovations, yours,
But the price, why, I do have to pay?
Senses evading me, unaware ever,
Drooping into lethargy, eyes closed.
