Medicine

Made for the healing of
maladies of the flesh.
May also help the mind.
Marketed by greedy
manufacturers who
maybe value dollars
more than human beings.

Oh....so true, my dear. I often wonder what is being kept from the masses so the pharmaceutical companies can keep making their millions. I hope for a cure for MS to save my Mama, but it never came. Such an important piece you've shared. Blessings.
