M. L. Kiser Poet Rhyme

Beware the Harm In Doing No Harm

Medical folks seem to think its best;
To keep us from eternal rest.
They’ll poke and prod, cut and tear;
The damage that they call…health care.

Their “practice” is a sad excuse;
Ethically they have no clues 
For making misery is their way;
They’ll prolong it for many days.

A quality life, it cannot be;
No joy in it will you see.
Instead the suffering they create;
Often seals the invalid’s fate.

Prescriptions are poison,
Their only purpose is no fun.
 “Big Pharmas” coffers’, filled
And their side effects can kill.


When the agony of side effects starts; 
It puts a strain on the human heart.
And other organs begin to fail;
Leaving bodies weak and pale.

As a victim of, “Big Pharmas” greed; 
I’ll reflect on a memory-seed. 
My late mother’s warning, great heed I now take, 
“Remember”, she said, “doctors bury their mistakes”!

Kiser January 30, 2019 at 4:29 AM Thanks Gershon; I've had a "Dickens" of a time finding a halfway decent Physician this past year. Finally, after 15 years, I have a definitive diagnoses and help. My Mom's words keep ringing in my ears every time I sit in a doctor's waiting room.

Caren Krutsinger January 25, 2019 at 4:56 PM M.L. My husband always says "this is why we say they PRACTICE" medicine. I think he and your mother would have gotten along well together. M. L. Kiser January 26, 2019 at 8:52 AM Oh my gosh, my youngest sister always says that! I do wish more would open their minds to the nature that has healed for centuries; only then will they be able to really help us heal. Thanks.
