Medicine Poem by Daya Nandan

The study of medicine starts at forever,
A lifetime study that ends at never,
For just like science, nature too evolves,
Medical guidelines change as the world revolves,

The bacteria and viruses constantly grow,
More and more drug resistant as statistics show,
They adapt and evolve to keep themselves alive,
Making it harder for the diseased to fight and survive,

We have to educate ourselves on all the new ways,
The new procedures that are born in passing days,
We have to constantly evolve to become ever stronger,
To help mankind stay healthier for much longer,

We have to stay sharp and make our knowledge grow,
That gives the science and art of medicine it’s magical glow,
Knowledge is our core and practice is our tool,
Founded by the lessons we learn in medical school,

We are the destined ones that must constantly learn,
And discover new ways to make pathogens burn,
It is not a choice but responsibility we must take,
To save as many as we can for mankind's sake,

Constantly match ourselves to the new generation,
Constantly find solutions to pathogens mutation,
As well as uncover new diseases too,
A responsibility we have taken up, all so true,

It is not an easy job, a truly difficult field,
To protect the community with a medical shield,
For without doctors, man does not have the key,
To go forward in medical advances for a brighter destiny,
