Cleared exams
became a doctor
Took the oath of
being a protector
A job near to God,
with time became
more of a fraud
Indulged myself
in all the deceits, be it
a simple cesarean or my
other operational feats
These hands have
performed umpteen
unnecessary operations
On being paid enough
have killed lots of
God's pink* creations
Bleeding souls
that fear death
feed me with my
daily bread
Yes i feed upon
fear and not
compassion
For me, they are
mere products
on the assembly-line
troubled by God, and
my wallet shine
Public service
Humanity, Love or
Altruism
All subdued when
seen through my
money prism
Another 3WW, the three words were Deceit, Indulge and Oath.

Well said and sometimes this is true
It is more rampant than we fully realise..
gyrating on its own steam of oath
Another look at a practice that must have light shed upon it. Well-crafted and the message is clear.
Powerful and clearly stated. Excellent.
Phew, I don't know how you get your head around this.
I think you made a clear point here though.
Well written.
I read an article this morning that said writers have a moral imperative to write about issues. This was the second excellently written 3WW to talk about female infanticide. Can't write about it enough
Bravo! a subject that deserves Much attention and outrage!
Nicely done!!! The message is crystal clear here!!! Good job!!!
An excellent perspective on an emotive subject. Kudos for being brave enough to tackle it.
Dude just give this link to some of d doctors.. ;).. lol..
anyway bitter but truth... keep writing on issues like this which really require attention.. good work !!
@Jeeves,
In fact, very much true in the less educated Asian societies.
@Gautami,
True..
@ThomG,
It certainly requires a sincere effort to curb this ill practice.
@anthony.
Thanks.
@Sweettalkingguy,
Glad that you liked it.
@pia,
It certainly requires a lot of attention from the masses.
@Lucy,
True
@Ajey,
Thanks.
@Witchmojo,
Thanks.
@Himanshu,
Hey glad to see you here. And will certainly write on various burning topics. Thanks..
Wow! Lot's of gut wrenching and soul searching today. Really good stuff, Sudharm!
@MichaelO,
Thanks a lot..
A doctor's dilemma or rAther a doctor's GREED.
But any of the side you have wonderfully put it.
I have a bloddy mindset that a poem wud be a poem only if it ends with same s's r's etc.
But every time I read yours my ideology gets shattered.
I feel wat you write is tough.
Great work man.Keep going

@Harsha,
Glad that you liked the so called 'unconventional' style. Thanks for dropping by.
I like how this addresses both female infanticide and the way society glorifies doctors and allows them to glorify themselves as gods.
Wow... beautifully expressed.. message driven clear cut. well done Sudharm
Nice work.
@Ann,
Very true.
@Viji,
Thanks.
@Angel,
Thanks.
This one talks about a topic that is close to my heart.
There are good and bad sides in any profession and medicine isn't spared of it.
Good poem!

Welcome Zorlone..and true this is the bad side..
I think more of us are aware of female infanticide. Some choose to deny or ignore it.
No profession is immune to greed and deceit.
Its not only about doctors..... money matters for every human despite of any profession....
human being...gods best creation
money...human's best creation thats wat every body thinks...
and it should nt be...i really hate such guys....
well... very well written...tragic but true.... when will people learn dat money never matters most... its jus an illusion...
also you can write on the condition of education system... which is nt more than a business now...
@susan,
Awareness is the key to kill such practice.
@niket,
Slight disagreement here, it is not the money that drive those scoundrels; it is the greed, the want, that prompts them to attempt such horrendous crimes.
And education system, for sure is screwed, would surely write something on that. Thanks!!
Well written and very true.......Gud one baxi....
