THE DENTISTS CHAIR

By the Urban Poet

Wars rage in far off places as struggles

so complex continue on through the ages 

The changes have been vast

From stick and stone to bow and arrow then gunpowder, cannon and war plane

 

However, pain, suffering and unspeakable despair, do not seem to compare

to the fear and apprehension of the Dentists chair.

 

The Bible spoke of 'an eye for an eye

and a tooth for a tooth', but in truth

the latter would be enough

to strike fear into most, and a bugle would soon be sounding the last post.

 

Endurance, bravery and resilience

are seen in different ways

From jungle treks and mountain climbs

to parachuting out of planes.

 

Bungee jumping to raise money for charity

send folk flying voluntarily through the air

So why are people so petrified

of the Dentist and his chair?
