***Nursing Home Prisoner***

She is a nursing home prisoner down in Alabam'
Locked behind electric doors, guarded and secure. (CHORUS)
Her only crime growing old, dementia.
Forgetting yesterday, seems so long ago.

Rosa Parks they asked to sit at the back of the bus.
Then they wouldn't let the black man vote
So from Selma they did march
Now they've locked away my Mom, and she isn't even black!

(CHORUS)

The judge he ruled she need not be
Even present in the court
When he made her ward of the state
Locked her up and threw away the key!

(CHORUS)

Why is it a crime to grow old in America?
Why are we warehousing those who gave us life?
Why are we making prisoners of those who taught us how to love?
Who is profiting from this corruption?

(CHORUS)

Yeah, they've got their hand in my Momma's cookie jar,
Milking her for all she's worth.
The judge, lawyers, nursing home, they're just a bunch of crooks!
Taking from the elderly, destroying their families!

(CHORUS)

Dedicated to my mother, La Faye S. Lynch, who is a nursing home prisoner
in Montgomery, Alabama, her only crime to have grown old.

My dear mother and I had a very close relationship. I have done a great honor to stand up and advocate HER wishes and desires. No one else has done this. Others have only exploited my dear mother and acted only for THEIR selfish greed and benefit. This included the lawyers, judges, distant and hostile relatives and the nursing home.

[goneviral69]

Wrong! My mother is being exploited by others who are participating is a corrupt elder care system.. A great injustice was done to my mother. Her desires and wishes were NOT respected! In Alabama a person cannot appoint their own guardian/conservator. Otherwise I would have been that person and were that the case you can be damn sure my mother would no longer be in Alabama!

[Simplyfacinated]

you are the only one exploiting your mother. I suggest you educate your self with the new Connservatorship Laws effective 7-1-07.

I am sure your mother is getting the quality of care she is in need of. Honestly, you must be projecting your own guilty feelings on to the "Courts." If you spent more time visiting your mother and less time on providing incorrect information to utubers, you may learn something about what it really means to "care and love" someone (especially your mother)

[goneviral69]

Wrong! The laws need to be changed in all 50 states so that every citizen can designate, appoint and specify their own guardian/conservator. This needs to be made retroactive to cover everyone in a nursing home. Until this is done there will be no justice and the elderly will continue to be exploited by corrupt judges, lawyers and greedy nursing homes!
