Texas Presbyterian

This place has the aura now of 'nightmare'.
It should be shut down.
Who in their right minds would go there now.
They felt happy to unleash Ebola on the community at large.
Maybe next time it won't be Ebola- but what if you are very sick and someone there decides for
whatever reason they will probably get away with just not being bothered.?
How would anyone know who to trust in that place?
Maybe being American wouldn't be enough in some circumstances.
Maybe being white wouldn't be enough in certain situations.
Being sick, and possibly contagious certainly seems a disqualifier.
Of all the gin joints....
Mr. Duncan traveled way over the seas to get married. Instead, he will be buried- or something akin
to burial, a man only 42 years old.
I was surely heartbroken when I heard he had died.
He was so far from home.
He was surrounded by hostile, negligent people.
He died without anyone he knew.
He died without anyone who had ever loved him.
I hope the voices of his family and his beloved drowned out all the others during his last times here,
perhaps "on this darkling plain."
