    Ode of a Lonely Physician
    A dog barks outside
    A cat also mews
    Their noises to me
    Are nicer than the news

    A patient strolls away
    unhappy with my drugs
    If he wants a sick-leave
    But I say "No" he shrugs

    My boss is insisting
    Not to change my old car
    But I am always worried
    It won't carry me any far

    I am feeling sick today
    But I cannot have rest
    'cause my nurses expect me
    healthy, must do my best

    Amid the heat of last July
    My AC went on strike
    I roasted in the desert heat
    A state no one would like

    I contemplate and meditate
    On the Nature of Things
    If Justice was ever applied
    Why subjects fight with kings?

    a good poem that made me stop to think and smile, very well written with your choice of words that are striking

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
