I totally agree Alkas. God is everywhere and in every thing. But the USA doctors follow a different creed.

There is so much in this piece, one of those tip of the iceberg, a crack that lets the light in. Well done. xomo

I don't hear voices, just one, and it is vicious unforgiving and violent with fast fists. I have experienced psychosis, seeing things, either that or I was haunted ;)

Lol, exactly how a little information can obscure an entire scene. Don't know poke weed berries, will look up! I'm on lion's mane mushroom and rhodiola rosea amongst others for my brain. I hate that "shouldn't" word, makes it a moral thing. The music should be good, the voices kind.

Maureen I haven't been to a "family" doctor since mine retired after my 40eth year physical. She told me all what to know about my body; so have been living off herbal medicines from our yard. (Other then my shrink. Seems I shouldn't be hearing music and several of my own voice talking in my head at the same time.) No herb I know of to cure. My next test is to eat Poke Weed berries. Do you know if this plant Maureen?

I appreciate your thoughts about my mental instability, but actually I wrote this after mi Musa told me her 90 year old Grandmother might have cancer. And her translated words were, "Hope god says not."

This one reads (to me) of your fact, knowing only what I know, which is what every reader brings to a poem, my own at odds-ness with conventional medicine, and what you have told me of yourself.

Thanks Maureen. Actually everything my poems are factually based unless it's a whimsical piece. I just pick up the scattered pieces and try to poetically put them together; so truly most are words spoken by mi Musa.
