The Suffering of ME & MCS

This portrait is a front view of a woman staring widely because her muscles in her eyes cannot focus, she presses the fingers to the top of her head to try and stop the head pain.

Staring

Linda Crowhurst

Staring into space
unable to focus
I see more clearly
with inner eyes
the hostility towards ME
the injustice
the persecution
the devaluing
the ignorance
the demonisation
that is escalating
as the world
in economic chaos
on the verge of breakdown
projects all blame
onto the sick and helpless
the vulnerable and the frail
leaving the bankers
free to benefit
and the politicans 
to frame the poor.
