Juxtaposition

Again a Friday night approached,
With attending a gathering in the mosque
There was a discussion on a country 
And there were refreshments too!

And the speaker mentioned, 
For his war-torn country of Iraq
The proportion of a doctor and patients 
precisely is 0.85:1000, to be exact.

There were delicious Iraqi dishes
I could not remember those names 
Delighted we served our appetite 
Returned home, quite full.

I saw a friend's post on the net,
about self -analyzing own symptoms
And treating on one's own, it's terrible I inferred.
And I realized, I am juxtaposing reality again, there.

The only viable solution, for now, maybe.
