Analysis of THIS IS DOCTOR DEATH
Doctor Death is coming
To cancel all your dreams,
He's thrilled by causing mayhem
Delights in hearing screams.
He hospitalises the healthy
He amputates sound limbs,
He leaves the sick to die
Ignoring them at a whim.
Doctor Death will inject your hand
With a syringe full of warm air,
Whether you live or die,
He simply doesn't care.
He'll coolly overdose you
On your own medication,
If your family asks why you die
He simply says, "Complications."
Doctor Death loves the power
Of life or death that he commands,
To hold your heart as he operates
Then hold your life in his hands.
Doctor Death is coming
This could your last day,
He takes away your vigor
And steals your life away!
THE END
