dialysis what !
he
is still on dialysis
but kith and kin don't know
when to let him go
hope God
helps them ...
the finale none know
not you... nor I...
no doc too
heaven is too busy...
we always knew
and
if there is a God
of which I have reservations....
I’m quite sure he has 7.5 billion
in the ICU
we call the world...
and
I only wish that ailing humanity
Came with life to terms
all we need is
a switch off
switch
but then who will?

yea
great write loved
very clever, and sad
'he is still on dialysis
but kith and kin don't know
when to let him go
hope God helps them so' (but i'd drop the 'so')
i really like
'if there is a God
of which i have reservations....
I’m quite sure he has 7.5 billion
in the ICU
we call the world...' - lol

one other tiny thing
thankyou for the acknowledgement in the first stanza, but to make this more succinct (imo) i'd drop that first stanza altogether now too, as it's not really needed for the theme...

why change 'he' to 'the guy'?
i think 'he' is so much better, more poetic

Thank you for your kind appreciation regards
"if there is a God
of which i have reservations....
I’m quite sure he has 7.5 billion

even now I realise these words are touching,
more to the credit of an
UNKNOWN DEITY,if any.
