The Doctor

I, astray, pray for prey

All these messages, I convey

Impunity, I’m immune with those laws

As she saw sharp edged saws

 

My scalpels gleam

I slowly peeled her skin from her limb

Helplessly, she cried out again

Over and over again and again

 

Human body is just like a toy for me

Just a place to express my satisfaction

Blood, scream, pain is my pleasure for me

That is the real of happines conception

 

Soak her in vinegar liquid

Scream.. Enjoy her scream, it’s so satisfying

Her skinless body swallows the acid

As her body collapse and dying

 

I've become an image of myself

I've become a shadow of myself

Phlegmatic sociopath surgeon

Half demonic’ spirit resurgence

 

Meaning :

I wrote this poem because it was inspired by a film I've seen. This film is about the life of a surgeon. Told that the surgeon had a mental disorder. In contrast to doctors in general who have a duty to treat sick patients. However, in this poem, it is said that the surgeon loves to torture his patients when he performs surgery. This surgeon is a psychopath. He likes to torture his patients until their patients feel pain and eventually die. The surgeon's actions were clearly in violation of applicable law. But in the film, it is told that the surgeon is a person above the law. He can not be sentenced to severe punishment for his actions. This surgeon also really likes what he does. It was as if the surgeon's soul had been controlled by the devil. So the action taken by this doctor is on the power of the devil. The surgeon could not stop his bad actions. There have been many victims of the cruelty of a surgeon who is also controlled by this demonic power.

 

Purpose :

The purpose of making this poem is to provide a moral value to the readers. If the reader really understands the content of the poem that I made, the reader will know and be able to conclude the message contained in this poem. This poem contains elements of the value of life. It was explained that the surgeon's actions were bad actions and violated the law. Although it is told that the surgeon is immune to applicable laws, we must not imitate his actions. We should not be arbitrary even though we have a right. If that right is something that violates, we still can't do it. So the purpose of this poem I made so that readers can understand the moral values contained in the poem. Can analyze what values exist and can apply them in everyday life

 

Figurative Languages :

There are some figurative language that writer used in this poem, such as :

            1. Personification

            “Her skinless body swallows the acid”

            “As her body collapse and dying”

In the two lines above, there is an application of figurative language that is personification. Personification is giving human characteristics to inanimate objects, ideas, or animals. Therefore in the first line it is stated that "Her skinless body swallows the acid". As we know the skin cannot swallow anything. In this line of text, the skin is like skin that absorbs or swallows acid. And in the second line it is stated that "As her body collapses and dying". In this line of poetry, the body is likened to collapsing even though the word cannot be juxtaposed with it. However, because of the use of personification figure of speech, it is commonplace.

        2. Simile

“Human body is just like a toy for me”

The lines above is an application of figurative language, that is simile. Simile has the meaning comparison between two usually unrelated things using the word “like” or “ as ”.

      The three lines of poetry above contain one of the figurative language, which is metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.
