Dr. Sanduk Ruit 
the famed ophthalmologist from Nepal 
developed a 5-minute technique
cataract microsurgery 
credited with restoring sight to a hundred thousand. 
With state permission to operate 1000 times
Dr. Ruit stars in the film Inside North Korea
people and places unknown to the outside world
filmed surreptitiously during the guest surgeon’s stay.
Video recording was sanctioned to confirm the healing
with tape and gauze dangling
bandages were half removed from their faces.
As each miracle was revealed 
the patient whose vision had been restored
cries with joy and venerates a portrait of Kim Jong-un
miraculous
his goodness and generosity.
