Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit—Life!

could it be about lawyers??

does it talk about "criticism"? would appreciate any thoughts about it...

This is a simple poem which underlines the emotions of a patient (feels like a culprit )under the knife of surgeon, even if he is skilled
