Crush Syndrome

A cycle of poems «Trauma Life Support»

The weight of the world, it starts to fall
A crushing pressure, upon us all
A silent killer, unseen, unknown
Crush syndrome's grip, it takes its own

Blood vessels burst, muscles cry out
Organs failing, a desperate shout
The body's trapped, a prison of pain
Fighting for life, but it's all in vain

The rubble piles, a tomb of despair
Hope flickers faint, a fragile prayer
Time is ticking, precious seconds slip
As lifeblood leaks, from a shattered grip

Blood vessels burst, muscles cry out
Organs failing, a desperate shout
The body's trapped, a prison of pain
Fighting for life, but it's all in vain

The sirens wail, a distant plea
A fight for survival, for you and me
But can we save them, can we win the race?
Against the crushing force, in this desolate space?

Blood vessels burst, muscles cry out
Organs failing, a desperate shout
The body's trapped, a prison of pain
Fighting for life, but it's all in vain

Crush syndrome's grip, a chilling fate
A reminder of life, and its fragile state
We must be vigilant, we must be aware
Of the hidden dangers, the burdens we bear.
We must be vigilant, we must be aware
Of the hidden dangers, the burdens we bear.
