10 October is World Mental Health Day
There are politicians, corporations, medical doctors
WHO ARE THE DOCTORS?
While the sick, the pained, the poctr walt in vain
Holding hospitalsj clinics, and medicines hostaged
Who are they to close doors and hold the lifelines? Shall we challenge all these
Until more demands are given, yet they are already
Band-aid solutions, rotten doctors
Among the world's highest paid, perked, privileged
But indifferent to poverty, chronic sufferings of others
Their rushed unsympathetic sessions Who are insensitive to feelings, pain
Tears, and lived experiences of others Of triggers, poverty, wars, Injustices
Who has separated themselves from the masses? Prestiges and titles might have clouded their heads
Many doctors succumbed to Investments, real estate Acting as if they must have been in the wrong trade
That when cnses arise, the masses are being blamed Of forced migration, VAW, religious turmoils Of child abuse, sex work, toxic masculinity
Forgetting who solemnly swore the Hippocratic Oath "First, do no harm" the ethical tradition and code Yet, in times of political, moral, and drug crises
Of supremacy, discrimination, class divisions
Of colonization, family separation, hard labour
Of police brutality, addiction, substance abuse
Of being deprived of relief, safe medical grade
ln these dangerous times of preventable deaths?
The poor, the sick, the disabled are being punished Treated secondary, left-to-die, last, less priorities
War on drugs', medical staff shortages' casualties Withheld of beds, shelter, manners, relief, cure, Rx Mctre-likely to be neglected , fast forward for MAID
Who are the doctors? Where are the cloctors? Whose healing skill is a divine power entrusted
Who are the doctors? Where are the doctors?
Not a higher statute mortal's brag, god-complex
Those who distributed drugs like confectioneries'J
But humble, noble, well-educated Who of them
Who over-prescribed? Who took advantage?
Still remember the old proven healing trick?
Drug pushers of pharmaceutical companies?
That poor bedside manners, riide front office staff
The noiJveau nche MSP over-billers?
Are all part of the brand, of being trustworthy
Who withhold resources, care, rights to llving
Ability to touch the hearts, not only the body
Home, belonging, safe supply, joy of being
Knows that nobody heals in hurtful Environments
From a society in despair, wars, necro-politicking
The ethical few must uphold the dignity of patients
Who are the carbon the elite wish to eradicate?
ln public health, the trophy of revolutions fought
Amidst melancholy, inflations, pandemic, CPTSD
Yet, our systems neglect the poor, the disabled
Not asking for company, luxuries, gold, or wealth
The ones who can not afford the medieations
But a moment of peace, relief, REM sleep, please
Wellness and hygienic supplies, massage, fc)od
Shelter, beddings, heaters, socks, dental work
-Mildred Grace German
The isolated, pained, traumatized, hurt, distressed
The anxious, the tooth-ached, fatigued, depressed
The hard-to-reach, the no-address, the homeless Those who have been failed over and over again By the system, society, the self within the within
Who are the doctors? Where are the doctors? Of the vulnerable, frozen by traumas, confused Chronically ill, pained, dazed, mood swingers
