How They Segregate! ! ! ! !

Rating: 5.0


To a law student
they preach that a gulf exists
between lawman and the layman

To an aspiring doctor
They preach how to treat a patient
And, what stands between them and him.

To a budding politician
they teach the art of political science
and how to lure innocent people for votes.

To an engineer
they show how logic and technicalities
help them to stand apart.

To a budding management student
they teach how to manipulate simple things
that may be done with ease.

To finance person
they teach how to translate everything to monetary terms
and bully other in the name of "Checks and balances"

To an insurer
they teach how to magnify the "Risk factor"
And capitalize the fear in humans.

Million Thanks to Almighty God
We are poets and have no such institutions to preach us
and are proud that we are still pure and untouched.

Nice poem 'they teach how to translate everything to monetary terms '. Now they value everything by money. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.

A fine derivation! Poets are the sensitive ones, pure and untouched. Loved your comparisons and conclusions with the other professionals!

Very thoughtful poem. The power of pen is the greatest power. In this, all others are behind poets. Writing might not bring money but it brings peace of mind. Great write. A well-deserved 10.
