Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dark room,
Holding a candle that'll burn out soon.
Walking around carefully I bump into others,
Stuck in this room after burying brothers.
I share my candle's flame and off they go ,
With a light so bright they find their door.
Leaving me behind in this dark room,
Holding my candle that'll burn out soon.

What is a doctor to you,
Is he your guru?
Or does he write a script,
Off to the pharmacist,
Symptoms he treats,
Do healers you meet?
Or does he turf and bounce,
Off for pathologist's amounts,
Then back to the doctor to you,
Is this your local guru?
Then does he turf and bounce,
off to a radiologist's amount,
Then it's all clear,
Good photos of your limbs here,
Time for poisoned jellybeans,
Modern medicine, it seems,
All with a copayment fee,
Is he your guru?
What is a doctor to you?
Feedback welcome,
