Analysis of I Want to Be a Doctor
I Want to Be a Doctor
School is a battlefield
where their borrowed desires, wishes and dreams
fight unceasingly for the Busy life
A doctor is a White horse now every student in school
wants to ride but the training coach
in the horse race of the Busy life
Disdained Gray horses are these days
praised no more
by youngsters while training for the race,
neither their coaches speak favorably of them—
but I’ve seen these Gray horses outpacing the
White ones several times in this race
full of unforeseen
ups and downs of our vain, Busy life.
