Veins of Life

They are the veins

Of life and death

From which we draw

Our every breath

They stand alone

Suffering pain

They're tossed aside

Like all things plain

Still they stand

And still they give

The needed air

So we can live

But we don't stop

With the hurt

We know with death

We do flirt.

We are still young

Is what they say

We learn new things

From everyday

They support us

With teary eyes

Knowing their trust

Is broken lies

Now they reach up

High to the sky

Seeming to say

Don't let us die
