Natural Curing " Save a Child? "

The story you read
In the shape of a poem
Its all about life
To continue it growing
 
The recent case 
Of Daniel Hauser
To deny him help
Media exposure
 
This 13 year old boy
Saw his aunt the same way
He took his first course
But the course made him sway
 
And his mothers thoughts
Maybe religion will save
And the fear of the thought
Her son no longer the brave
 
Behind the scenes, the Religion Nemenhah
A white mans dream of the " Cloudpiler " Landis man ah!
Where Natural Curing is what they can?
Is this the reason why they ran?
 
My thoughts go back to the way his auntie was
For to continue his treatment, as his bravado thaws
Its the word Chemo and the course it takes
Going through spells of goodness and sickly states
 
How many cases where the parent was ill
Did they make their own choices, to get better at will
Or did a another person decide for them
With their consent, with the write of a pen
 
In natures eyes, as a mother gives birth
It should be in her want, to save her child first
Why she would do this, take her child and run
Is it this Nemenhah cause, that prevents her son?
 
Written to answer my thoughts on the question posed by
                  Katherine Stella on her poem
 
          " Kid Natural ( the Daniel Hauser story ) "

James, I agree. Whether using natural medicinal herbals or man made products, which are God's gifts to mankind provided through human intelligence, death will come in God's due time even if medicines are used to prolong life. So, why not accept these gifts that God has provided. By not using these healing gifts, we turn our backs on God's bounty. Many times people are healed by great faith. Does a child have that much faith? Love, Dane

This is a timely piece on a social discussion that we might all have in our own circles. All we can do is what we feel is best. I haven't followed this story, and no nothing other than what I've seen in headlines. My prayers go out for the family. Thanks for your take on things, James! Donna
