(un) Professionalism Poem by Natarajan Ramaseshan

Engineers are not motivated-
motivations are often engineered.

Doctors make the
Hippocratic oath
and take the
hypocritical path.

Legal expertise
results in the
client losing a
cow for the
sake of a
cat.

Teachers teach
and also preach;
but practice them
in their breach.

Some Justices are
just vices.

Professional ethics
is now mythical.
Sense of values
has lost
its essence
where even
fences
feed on fertile
fields
