Your body is your temple
Love and take care of it
Keep yourself healthy
Care for physical hygiene
Have a care for deportment
Have a good sleep habit
Exercise regularly
Take a balanced diet.
My most important priority
for personal inside health care
is polycultural outside
EarthCare
Environmentally cooperative
divine health caring enlightenment
empowering humane safe
sufficient wealth care.
For every relationship
we can rediscover
a season
of increase
and tipping point
toward decrease.
For every correlation,
positively resonant
and negatively dissonant,
a regenerative
becoming degenerative season
for building up and out
and tearing down and in
compassion
compulsion
recreation
tipping toward
dispassion
revulsion
decay
Like passionate summer powers
Falling toward
diminished winter light
dipolar co-arising
hope for continuous
contiguous fresh spring
cooperating green,
morning blue
yet warmer
cumulating skies
repredicting summer's
fertile
climax
passions
Re-enlisted
in four fractal
reasoned seasons
for redeveloping Earth justice
and restoring Tribal peace
Turning traumatic weaponed
retributive discommunications
into therapeutic wellness tooled
restorative re-communionations.
Handling hoards of patient everyday
Each depressed ,fearing death
Asking same questions
Colleagues dying, patients dying
Death lurking in the corner
Not sure of own fate
A hectic schedule since more than a year
Physically tired, mentally exhausted
It is not easy still they continue to serve
Full time PPE, mask on
Handling patients with patience
Working selflessly, sincerely without hiatus
Think about them.
Their physical and emotional state.
Be empathic
Follow social distancing,
Wear mask, sanitize hands
Don't go out until required
If all take precautions covid will end!
Then happily we can take a hiatus
A much needed vacation!

HEALTH
CARE
Hats off to heroes
Health care workers of the world
Heads bowed, we thank you
Who put yourselves in harm's way
Angels in scrubs, gloves, and masks
You will become old
Older than the wild
Older than dull cutlery
Someone will feed you with a spoon
You will eat the spoon and ask for another
Tubes and wires will hold you together
Nurses will come in the night
Roll you from room to room for tests
On beds with rotating wheels
It is for the best so rest
They will come with white sheets
With cutting machines and drills
With smiles behind dark masks
Stitches can only hold on so long
Is there oil or a cure for the cold in there?
Words mumble through saliva
Slip from the tongue in a dribble
Anesthesia soothes the soul
No one listens to old people
Is there gold in there?
Wrinkles build highways on faces
Take on a life of their own on the elderly
Stretch for miles over peaks and valleys
To the valley of death for what cause
Doctors operate for a profit
To find what's inside worth saving
How it will end is not for us to say
There must be something left in the pockets
Dr. Goo Goo lives in the clouds with God
Follow his instructions to the T when sick
Take two aspirin and call him in the morning
Right now is good. Never is even better
Fevers come with a cough and a quack
Not all doctors are created equal
Some live under rocks or bridges
Deliver babies when not playing golf
Goo Goo wears a mask at Sunday services
Performs surgery on high wires at circuses
Sports the letter G on white pajamas
As a reminder; Who is God and who is not
Surgery on tightropes, scalpel between the teeth
Comes easy with his degrees of certain certainty
With expertise he keeps patients in stitches
But do not laugh when asphyxiated
When the doctor falls do not applaud
Audiences should stay in their seats
For no particular reason
Safety nets and parachutes get lost
Dr. Goo Goo fixes us before we go wrong
Before we return back to ash and dust
From that stuff, primordial goo called humans
Who come with medical and dental plans included
America believed "Congress"decided effortlessly for giving health incentive justification,"knowing" love may not open prior questions regarding special things under vague wrong xenophobic yearnings zonked!!
Extrovert, outgoing, kind and amicable -
are the true resemblance of your attitude.
When loyalty is given once,
never has anything been asked in return.
Warm friendship and trust apart
listening is the true nature of your heart.
The beacon you light from near and afar -
guides your friends for years to come.
Alas! When you are in tears,
You show a brave face and your calm manners,
Hiding your bleed by isolating in your lair
Fading away like a dimming fire.
Open up your heart to those who care.
Sharing your burden with another ear
will lift off your sadness and all your fears.
as you go
walk slow
you never know
how the wind blow
so what you do
watch your self too
be ware
you need
HEALTH CARE
Evangelists,
good news proclaimers,
please clarify and declare your health care intentions.
Do you prefer God of Love enculturing cooperative health,
or prolonging Old School
God of elitist monoculturing authority?
Violating those left outside ego- and anthro-centric boundaries,
to hoard your own sacred investments
in today's Elite WinLose players.
Economic and political manipulators
marketing your faith in love's responsibilities
are now addicted to furthering bad faith's violent authorities
to take life
rather than care-give WinWin ecopolitical resolutions,
resonance for and with gratitude
for life's dance of ego/eco-love,
deep and sacred ecological co-listening
to hear god/dess as inside/outside voicing love
in his-her still small equivalently relentless
polyphonic voice.
Healthy child
Healthy family
Healthy country.
Sick child
Tormented family
Citizens in trouble.
Families deprived
While others gorge
Country in trouble.
Health of a country
Is more important than outrageous corporate profits
Or the rich getting richer
Not too difficult to understand
People need affordable health care.
Republican politicians, what is it you don’t get?
Nothing supersedes health maintenance;
Thus, the evolution of instinctive defiance --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance,
Which clouds the r-complex beneficence
With infinite, self-centered arrogance, meanwhile,
Nothing supersedes health maintenance.
Dino-birds navigate with magnetic reliance,
And sickness is fought without aid, in silence --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance.
Detached from colonies of microbial sentience,
Oblivious as we consume and covet experience,
Nothing supersedes health maintenance.
Where six-legged ancients toil with exuberance,
Even cub-killing toms can't escape consequence --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance.
While parasites devour with horrific preponderance,
Why must we mimic their cold appliance; knowing,
Nothing supersedes health maintenance --
Save for man and his brainy protuberance.
