Sonnet: Doctors Should Not Strike

While everyone has liberty to strike, And protesting for human rights is great, None should endanger lives we like/ dislike, As public sympathy then comes too late! Some professions that save lives should desist From doing things against ethics/ conscience; The thought of strikes, they must always resist, Resorting to dialogues of much patience! For life itself is wealth and gift priceless; No one has right to put others' at risk; Our arguments to strike work turn baseless, When tiny tots could die like lambs that frisk! Our rights can wait but lives lost is forever; Life-saving professionals to strikes, say, ' Never! ' Dedicated to all medical professionals on ‘Doctor's Day! ' Copyright by Dr John Celes 26-06-12
