Sad poem about alzheimer's and how it affects the person and family
Rambling rants of a disturbed mind

genius in his day, one of a kind

fighting against some archenemy

flailing and arguing continuously

family visit heartbroken

in their eyes, no need to be spoken

on a good day he just ignores

their presence, one of his chores

on a bad day swearing and cursing

a painted smile they've been rehearsing

the man they knew is long gone

but in their soul, his memory shone

they keep hoping for a breakthrough

a precious glimpse of the person they knew
