Dr Death
A doctor under hippocratic oath
Took lives of older women one per month
By lethal dose of morphin injection
And turned into a prolific serial killer.
He was attached to his mother having cancer
As the doctor injected her morphin to relieve pain
He saw her slowly die and the loss
Made him homicidal to take mother’s life of others.
The modus operandi of his crime
Matched with the way his mother died
He let his unwary victims hear the heavenly call
For he morphed into “angel of death”.
Sentenced to life imprisonment
The killer didn’t intend to survive long
He killed himself by hanging in the prison cell
Being branded as “cold coward”.
