Why am I being kept alive



my cost effectiveness is up for debate

just when every medicine appears too late

an industry grunts and reaches up its sleeve

and i am reluctantly granted a reprieve

maybe they plan to charge it to my estate


in other words i'm permanently indentured

no matter whom i've known or where i've ventured

another data point on a ticker tape

kept alive from vote to vote like a lab ape

a radioactive slab that's been de-cancered
