Dismissed

Sunshine on my head,
But I cannot rise up;
I lay in this hospital bed,
Refusing redemption and worship.

Moonlight on my face,
Another day and night;
Another man immobilized,
Put away, far from your sight.

Artificial light in my brain,
Nothing left to rise above this;
Crippled for life,
Humbled and humiliated, rejected and dismissed.
