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”.

Doctor Pain used to prescribe more-fin
Until a patient put some in his gin
He drank like a fish
And made a weird wish
Opioid cocktail submerged his last grin
**********
A sex-change doc recommended morphin'
Prescribed a load of testosterone
As body parts changed
And brains rearranged
Man's higher nature was swiftly orphaned

When I wake up every morning,
when sun rays kiss my skin,
When flowers bloom in the field,
Sending my spirit into bliss.
You're like a rolling stone in my head,
Taking my emotion 'til I can hardly breathe.
The sensational feeling travels through my veins,
causes me an exultant happinesss.
You are my addiction,
my morphin when in pain.
my stimulator when I'm weak,
The only reason why I breathe.
How I wish one day you came,
and imagination became real,
'Cos tonight I keep on looking up,
Only stars and moon replies back.
