Medicines For Eyes and Heart
Usually, I will look out my window
And lay eyes on the most beautiful flowers;
Or Crepe Myrtle trees beautifying the lawn;
Or in the early mornings, watch a sunrise with teary eyes;
Or in early evenings, watch a sunset take my breath away;
Or in late Fall, gaze at flocks of birds heading South for the winter;
Or smile at

Home Medicines
Invincible craving for the relish from home,
Laughter in deep dimples sets as lava, seats silently with desires.
Mother’s medicines rejuvenate,
Food, Bring them from Africa.
Especially from Mami’s kitchen,
Where the aroma helps develops patience,
The taste of unblemished earthenware,
Unsoiled by the greed of GMO
Unfrozen fresh, unpolluted with preservatives.
Bring me Egusi, laden with numerous

Medicines From India
India’s thinkers are ahead of their time.
Making medicines out of manure from their bovine.
Urine too has a place of honor in their lab.
They use it in treatments, but please do not blab.
I would like to meet the brilliant thinker of the day.
Who decided poop and urine might be the way.
To cure some diseases – was

My Medicines
off she wrote
as if a doctor's
script to which
i had to translate
making out
certain words
that i needed
to sound out
loud making
my mouth
contort in

yet when all was
said and done
the note she

simply
poetry

The Government of Pakistan
The Government of Pakistan
Our cruel government bring pain
They say bear it and do not complain
They banned imported medicines just for money
Neither do they make it nor do they let others supply
They are greedy and they are the fuel of hell
They use god's name but within them, demons dwell
Their speeches

The Best Medicines
The best medicines
Its cold and the sky today is gray
no squawking in the sun from the young blue jays
I hear the pitter— patter of little feet
and wonder if it is my little friend gray squirrel
that each day in hidden places he seeks
all the seeds, nuts and corn snacks I leave
suddenly a black

Earth's Healing Medicines
"I fear that a world made of gifts
cannot coexist
with a world made of commodities."
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass, p. 374
We fear that Earth made as gift
cannot coexist
with a planet infested by mere self-marketing
of the fittest.
I fear Earth made of organic containers
of deep ecological memory
as sacred gifts
cannot coexist
with a commodified planetary

Medicines Day Is Today In 2441
Medicine’s Day Is Today in 2441
It turned into more of a hair service,
2441, the price
Of being human is just to live, fizz,
New drugs took time to create and promise,
But now that we have human flight, flawless,
By taking Aerogel, the drug for us,
Which lets us speed through the air cold as ice,
Medicine became, being real honest,
As
