Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Smothering the Health Bomb

2010 initiative N H S decide programme we see
On halving stillbiths; and injury, quite sensible it
Appears to me ' yet now 2023 has come to be
Its being shelved, what could we see? There must
Be a reason (just what might that be?) Some type
Of connection umbilically, of 2010 and 2023 ?
I wonder if to put it simply; there is so much better
Just come to be.? That theres a humbleness to avoid
The publicity? that such results and records would
Engender if seen specially experts (who would be keen)
To build on any progress, that whould improve the scene
Of natal care, what woult that mean? There must be a
Trail of better results? Over more than a decade so
Whats the shout.? I can't see why its been sidlined? as if
Its inception and work was almost, a heineous crime.!

Bill Baker April 10, 2023 at 7:32 AM I agree, Joe, doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your poetry, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill Joe Maverick April 11, 2023 at 9:26 AM Hi Bill well it appears that in 2010/11 Things were that bit more sane..? They were targetted on promoting Infant birth health, so that must have had results, yet now they close that action down 'as it would involve record keeping' so How would any death or injury spike be explained..? Under this System.? Ergo remove system..!
