As I Sold Art in $1

Customer asks to raise cost, and I thought of healthcare cost

I posted the art above,

people showed interest to buy.

I kept a nominal price,

just a dollar.

A customer asked,

“Don’t you think

it should easily be

five or ten dollars?”

Imagine, customer

advising seller to raise cost!

Yes, it needs skill to paint,

time and color to purchase.

But I struggle to rate it high,

my conscience doesn’t allow,

I don’t take advantage.

Do medical field think so?

No. One molar tooth work

twelve hundred dollars.

I am still shocked,

is it a developed country?

Shouldn't they raise awareness,

and prevent sickness?

Is human health

a commodity to profit from?

Nobody asked for unnecessary tests,

and then hefty bills.

Don’t exploit the weak,

be kind as you should be,

don't bring shame to noble profession.
