Jacintha Saldanha R.I.P.
A prank so dreadful and mean,
Destroying a life so dedicated and keen.
A tornado whirling through her trusting brain,
A cruel hoax inflicting devastating pain.
Two children have lost their loving mum,
A nation in tears sad and numb.
A husband has lost a caring wife,
A dedicated nurse a precious life.
Poor soul just doing her job,
A prank that went wrong and her life did rob.
Sadness and tears her colleagues disperse,
For the tragic death of a diligent nurse.
Popular,quiet and profoundly caring,
The grief of her family our whole nation is sharing.

A tragic event. The poor woman must have felt
she could not confide in or seek support from others to bring herself to do such a thing.
It may also be that her origins may have
enforced any sense of responsibility/shame in
such a high-profile incident. The effects of
her decision extend beyond that decision...not
unlike the original call made by those Aussie
pranksters!
