NINJAS DON'T GET HEALTHCARE
a ninja poem by d.j. kirkbride

Ninjas don’t get healthcare.

See that line over there?

That’s the free health clinic

Where them people without

Insurance have to go

When they get hurt or sick.

Ninjas don’t get healthcare.

They say that it’s not fair,

But theirs is a risky

Profession, and those dark,

Violent assassins

Companies won’t carry.

Ninjas don’t get healthcare.

Can’t see them standing there

Because they are hiding

In plain sight, but there are

Ninjas with colds and sai

Wounds in that line waiting.

Waiting,.. for some healthcare.
