from the red zone

In the Red zone:

I saw the fragility of human life
Death can be so simple, easy and fast

A knock on the head
An electric shock
A leg infection
A simple fall

It can just occur in a split second
Just within a blink of our eyes

Drs try their best to resuscitate patients whom lives were just hanging on a thread
Even if they succeed in recovering the beating of the heart
There is no guarantee on the viability of other organs
The other various factors that sustain life other than the heart

We cheer when we see stable sign on cardiac monitoring
But that could only lasts for a few hours
There are too many things that we couldn't control or predict


Our lives
can be just as fragile as an ant's

When we see death
It should be a wake-up call for us

To start living
