Premium Member Girl With Cancer

She was sick, but you would never know it.
She liked her nurses, they were slim and fit.
She rarely complained. Her name was Bonnie Proctor. 
She enjoyed her friends, they shared the same doctor. 

What is your super power? A head doctor asked her one day.
She had not thought of it until then, so what could she say?
Your super power is your strength, her mother suggested.
The nurse came by for blood, so she could get it tested.

Your super power is your smile, her grandma added.
There were three visitors that day. One came padded.
He had coloring books, markers, paints and other stuff.
He was her cousin Louie, who sometimes acted gruff.

She went to bed that evening dreaming of super powers.
Hers was flying, and she saw herself in a field of flowers.
She saw Jesus and gave him a friendly happy wave. 
Keeping her super power to herself, this soldier so brave.

Premium Member Merry Christmas, You Have Cancer

I'd been throwing up a lot.
My food stuck in my throat,
So every time I had a meal,
I'd cough and gag and choke.

I went to see my doctor,
Time and time again.
They gave me Barium swallows,
But found nothing in the scan.

For seven years they fooled around.
One doctor even retired.
Then they'd start all over,
'Stead of looking at the priors.

Finally I had had enough.
I went to see my doctor.
You must do something, after all,
Of my health you are the proctor.

You've given me those swallows,
Umpteen dozen times.
You never find a single thing.
Let's try a different line.

Let's do some X-Rays then, he said,
And then an Ultra Sound.
What a capital suggestion Sir,
I think that's quite profound.

Next time I went to see him,
The doctor said to me,
I think it's time we sent you,
To have a biopsy.

The lab report came back at last.
The doctor called me in.
We have good news and some bad.
Now where shall I begin.

We've found that you have cancer,
In your Thyroid gland.
I looked at him and took a breath.
Well now, ain't that grand.

Would you care to elaborate,
On your diagnosis?
For this you really must admit,
Is more than halitosis.

It's the slowest growing cancer,
And the easiest to treat.
We'll just remove the Thyroid,
Then you'll be fine, you'll see.

So now I'm waiting to go in,
To have my operation.
I'm really not too worried,
'Cause God knows my situation.

Until The Lord will call me,
Nothing can take me out,
And when my God is ready,
I'll leave here with a shout.

Childhood's Dream

At every turn in time, I wish to live the best dream 
The best wish everyone could have
That caress the precious grace per luck 
Which colors achievement
And can be counted on as reinforcement cum hard work 
Which pave ways, wings soar peacefully 
That bottoms sit back to reminisce, 
Counting blessings worthy of thanksgiving

Many are dreams you once had in gleam
The ones that would've continue to live 
But with the dragging of time, you chuck
Thinking when will you be old enough to  have its fulfilment 
Despite all the prayers you build like a bulwark

Just as the sun fuels the moon's speed
And its light determines its brightness 
The florals get human lives' breath feed
And beautifies environment and its forthrightness
Dreams cage plans towards fulfilment 
And bless efforts for passions many rewards 
Goal is the root of focus connecting achievement 
Aiming high at globally recognized awards

I once wish to be a doctor 
For the sake of saving lives
But one thing I admired most
Is the smart look of the uniform 
On the ones I have come across

I can't figure out how I become a proctor
Many are lazy students I practically forgives 
Who have over the years been undiagnosed 
And abandoned for the higher institution to reform
How will they be able to bear the cross?

At a point in life, I wanna become a football player 
Either I get to feature or not, no cease payment
The profession I referred to as "money making machine" 
More than any other on weekly basis
To get life going well visiting places

At another point, I wanna be a bricklayer 
Who has never been exposed to an underpayment
But they spend much on colchicine
To make sure the system is active 
Then watch to avoid being addictive

Contingent

Along the glass of a lazy stroll, 
The jar popped open the doctor, 
Or so I thought, ‘cos attachment, 
Honour and protection was proctor. 

Amis of gel, congruence and ear, 
No disk did move my larynx clear, 
Undue was the throat inside instead, 
Which elongated my sinews head. 

The cerebral hemispheres dance, 
To reason’s sediments glance, 
The axiom nuclei of radius fodder, 
Taxonomic from a cooling splatter. 

But my chair collapsed, was rejected, 
And my sweated foot bounced unsaid, 
Four legs not two around about, head 
Their arms detached from pout affected.  

Oh the seventies did collide and mix,  
With solemnity’s roles and grades, 
Under the blankness of the stare, 
Came the tare that ripped unaware. 

Contingent upon my father’s books, 
Magic cards and imagery games, 
My piano, pencil drawings, TV flicks, 
Starwars did not renegade flames. 

Not continent upon the bible black, 
Therefore not continent upon the kin, 
So not deluded or emotional, gone, 
Won the neighbours hearts, pimm, grin. 

Silence comes upon the beholder, 
Not upon the glancer to extract, 
When friends and lovers folder, 
The broken heart that stays intact. 

Knight the darkness, loon the light,  
Put the bedding out into the light,  
Bring the muscle into view as stringy, 
To by the pound shift the loofah pingy.  

Medicine’s chalice guilds the sweep, 
Of the dopamine in inner scales, 
But when the neurones skirt fit ham, 
An ombudsman should call it maam.

can i get a back beat


my doctor
is a proctor
not to be bothered
about your father
so go further
blur blurring vision
deciding decisions

yo
begin again
begin again

i've never sinned
casting stones
throw in the towel
after a awhile
fashion fashionably
late for a date

yo

no make up
making me make
taking a take
a second glance
a second glance

yo
yo
yo

loca mujer
hair dyed rojo
afro fantastico
don't know when
even then
then is now
bow to you
you're my Muse
muse about
get it all out
no leather couch
here where
all are chairs
take care
take your meds
bed is bedtime
time i'm instead

writing about her
again about her
again

yo

vinyl record scratching
back records show
you're good to go 

yo
yo

you're good to go
te quiero
te quiero

The Call of the East 1

I felt a bit like Humbert, or John Proctor, 
an ageing vulture drawn to fresh young flesh. 
She was a pretty, witty Turkish doctor 
(so, not exactly plundering the creche!) 

She seemed to like me, though we'd never met. 
"Why don't you come to Turkey?" she'd implore. 
(You've guessed by now I met her on the Net!) 
My mind was moving that way, more and more. 

Some hanker for one evening with Stan Getz, 
Cafe A-Gogo, in the wee small hours. 
My fantasy was always minarets 
in Istanbul, those slender marble towers 

(which seem too graceful for this ugly world) 
and me, enthralled by shape and song and air, 
as muezzin's warble hovered, wavered, curled, 
calling the faithful to their morning prayer. 

One Easter, I had four days with no work. 
For once, the bank account was almost full. 
"I'll go see Aysin," (thus was named my Turk), 
"since Ankara must be close to Istanbul." 

One word about the people of that land. 
They're nosey. Answer questions, they'll ask more. 
They meet an Arab, they can sell him sand. 
They're merchants. Sent to Hell, they'd open a store. 

Turks want to know two things: the area, 
in meters squared, encompassed by your flat, 
and please confirm that Greeks are hairier 
and darker-skinned than them ("Greek girls are fat?") 

Met at the airport by a courtesy car, 
I'm gliding through the magic Eastern night, 
fielding the driver's questions - "Is it far 
from Maine to Malibu? Do I look white?"

You are electron microscopic size, but you possess infinitesimal power. Just a single strand of encapsulated RNA, yet you and your brothers SARS and MERS can sicken and kill more complex life.

Covid-19, virion unseen
Bring humans to their knees
Cowering and trembling

You spring up suddenly from nowhere and spread like fire in a parched forest. Devastating stock markets, stopping sports teams, halting concerts and forbidding gatherings over 250 souls. Quarantines of ships and planes. People greedily grasping, fighting and clawing for the important things in life: toilet paper, masks, cleaning supplies, paper towels.

A boon to corporations
Johnson and Johnson, Proctor and Gamble
Secretly happy you are around.




World wide you spread, showing no regard for race, boundaries or politics.



Italians, Iranians, Chinese,
Americans, Norwegians,
Japanese, Brazilians

The world caught unprepared. Scientists scrambling to develop a vaccine. All will breathe a sigh of relief when you cease your rampage.  That is until you return, mutated, the same but different and we start all over again.
