Black Doctor Loved By White Patients

The white know blacks who used a lantern:
Kazeem: Ray Hospital’s New Intern;
By female admirers surrounded,
I kept gazing at him astounded…

As he saw patients went down complaints,
Quick releases from Hell, no more faints!
Rather, a houseman like placebo;
Not all the time his arrows found bow:
Thus, Black Doctor white patients just want,
 To the other Black Stethoscopes “Don’t!”

Might it be his lot to change this scene;
Strict white patients tell with smiles “You’re mean.”
About some Black Doc point to as Guide
And dare to claim that he did this hide?

Black Doctor loved by White Patient,
Not from High Intelligent Quotient…
