Family Vs Service Poem by Sikta Anurakta

Family Vs Service

Rating: 5.0


A doc was once threatened by few anti-social rogues to not treat a man who was the only eye-witness of a high profile murder mystery.And for the doc it was a gruesome dilemma to choose either the family or his humanity.

Find out what the doctor does.....
It goes like his.....

There was always a genuine reason
and that's why I committed the sin.
People thought me to be a dare-devil
but this was only to provide my family a square-meal.

I'm a person appointed to kill
mind you not to kill.
But just for few hours I turned myself from
selfless to selfish human-being.
I gave a damn to everything.

It was then when my family's security
overpowered my responsibilities.
My personal life overtook my professional life.

After all I'm just a common man
and hence I had to commit this negligence.

Today, the world has tagged me
as a killer, not a doctor.

But I still don't repent for anything
because I did something for my family.....

I am astonished, at this age how could you visualise the thoughts of a doctor! You thoughts appear to be quite matured.

there is this thought in hindi which says, there can't be any revolution with empty stomach...upto a large extent all humanity is bound to follow this simple law of nature... u have tried fairly to weave the doctor's dillema, including the realisation of his unintended sin. its teary however
