Bowing to the supreme

The baby was saved but the mother died

Only if the team could have saved her life

For she had come too late with all complications

Had lost all blood and the relatives offered divergent narrations

The team had worked hard to put a stitch in time

Using all skill that they had earned in a lifetime

The bleeding did not stop and she bled to death

As the doctors looked at all the options available to them at depth

Doctors  too are humans and join their hands to pray and to look up to him

After treating the patients medically so that they can willfully grin

They too bow to his plans for all is not in their hands

For each one of us is just a pawn of his in this vast expanse
