My blood is

under a lot of pressure

it's tense since

it cannot always perform

all that it is asked to do

it becomes red with anger

and spills if pricked

if transfused from a bottle

it hangs there on a pole

like a trophy for the staff

there is good blood

and bad blood among peoples

and the taking of it

can be hurtful

depending on the nurse

and the fee from

the doctor.
