It all started with a dream
People telling me that I would be the society’s cream
And yet here I am writing this because of my unheard scream
Finding a home in people’s wellness
Working hard and whetting prowess
Only to be pushed away from kindness
Away from my loved ones to protect yours
Not a second does it take for you to get cross
With any thoughts
When I am showered with violence
You toss and turn in silence
With no value for my existence
No, do not call me a God
When you recover
Because I am eventually called a fraud
Even after my every attempt to cure and uncover
Put me up on a pedestal, did I ask?
Drag me down to dirt now that you’ve removed your mask
In the light of convenience and on the chair of indifference, you happily bask
‘You maybe attacked’ – add it to my syllabus
‘You may die’ – it is synchronous
Sorry, I was nothing but meticulous
How am I to do my duty living in constant fear
No protective gear to steer clear
Drops down my cheek, an invisible tear
Who will want to study medicine in the future?
With a blind eye and a deaf ear turned by the legislature
Hurting I am, boiled down to a caricature
Don’t you see the dying compassion
A result of your insensitive and irrational reaction
I plead, stop being an obstruction to my profession
I beg of you, do not make me less of a doctor
Like you couldn’t care less and it doesn’t matter
It is time we act now than regret later
Stop, it’s enough
Drop down my cuff
Before it’s getts rough
And the going gets tough
