Sickness all can be cured 
Some may not

All medicines answered 
Some may not 

Some sickness can’t be cured 
Some medicine won’t be answered 

On the rule all lives to demise...

Jean Neuhaus had an apothecary store in Brussels.
He started covering medicines with chocolate, to make it more palatable.
His grandson replaced the medicine with praline.

Summer is a season of figs
It is one of my favorite fruits
Beside mango, banana, prunus  
Love to see people have it at tables
One of the earliest fruit trees
Cultivated by ancient peoples
dry or fresh food and medicines...

there's too many sickness
medicines hit or miss

stuttering over weight
addictions big debate

some can't be seen
few eyes are mean

judgments are made
they'll never fade

they'll slap a label on me
saying I shouldn't be free...

The Inferior Bacteria


     There was once a young bacteria,

     Who used to feel inferior.

     But he resisted antibiotics

     And medicines exotic,

     Now he is feeling superior.

It’s not fair how the heart fails
to completely heal, no matter 
friendly medicines proffered, 
prostheses patiently plugged,
eventual atrophied acceptance;
memories fade away, like streams
joining a river, but not to wash away
they just become part of the ocean....

As I walked down the street it hit me. 
It was silence, invisible, and my poor health was it's key. 
I tried all to fight it, drop after pill of medicines. 
The fear it brings is high and menacing. 
I stay locked away in my apartment until this virus decides to let us be....

All medicines of survival have been exhausted
The last pill has been consumed just now
So don't cut open my wound so wide,
That I would die from loss of blood.... 
Before I'd be able to find a person;
Who could sew it up,
Who could help me linger on the straws of facade.......

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
snorts

yet when all was
said and done
the note she
wrote was

simply
poetry
for what
else would

mi Musa
write
for
me...

on my desk
books read and unread 
pens used and unused broken pencil
red massager few silver coins
torn papers  black razor poisonous medicines
worn blue steth knee hammer car keys
batteries old and dead half drunk cup
of black coffee half written living poems
unfinished sketches dust on the unseen corners...

Think about this…
Emails now prove thousands of doctor’s reported medicines
That were proven successful for Covid to Fauci at the CDC
He ignored all of this as hundreds of thousands of people died
So truthfully, he undercut President Trump as media praised him
Then, President Trump was blamed for all the deaths!

Doesn't make much sense, does it ???
Homeless go without eating and shelters.
Elderly go without needed medicines.
Mentally ill go without treatment.
Troops go to defend without proper equipment.
Veterans who gave our freedom go without
Benefits that were promised to them.
Yet our government donate billions to
Other countries, and excessive immigration
Before helping our own first....

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 this idea heaven-sent?
Or were they just lucky their mind was so bent?...

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 popular as wraps for tea, there’s a buzz.

I have traversed through the thickest jungles

Fought off exotic bees

Searched aperch the highest mountains and sailed the roughest seas

Tried medicines from tribal men 

Sled the North Pole in the coldest degrees

Looked inside of Lions Mouths and picked them of their fleas

My Search goes on and on and on

Quite indefinitely

All I need is for you to do as I like

And put my mind at ease...

What if the sun wasnt shining
Would we welcome the rain?

What if your medicines ran out
Would we cope with the pain?

What if your loved one died
Could you live alone?

What if all you do is cry
Would you lift the phone?

So many what if's
But the answers are clear

There is always something
Or someone to hold you dear

Friends who care
Always there for you

Are you such a friend
Is this something you would do?...

Inti, the Sun God, was happy always
Moon deferred to him in all kinds of phase.
Incas pussyfooted under his gaze.
He ruled Mexico in the good old days
The priests and alpacas met Inti’s gaze.
Mita system was society’s craze.
Children of twelve were not allowed to laze.
Boys herded llamas and alpacas for days.
Girls gathered plants for medicines and glaze.
Inca society will simply amaze
Conquering others whose children are slaves....

I see him working like a horse or bull or donkey or buffalo; never resting peacefully even to swallow a mouthful of the meal and as though has time to just ruminate; hurrying yet consulting his physician every two days; gulping his medicines while walking and running, and pulling himself on as though there’s nothing else worth in life than his relentless labor… 

diamonds, rubies
dearest ransoms for his lifetime fortunes 
dead cockroaches...

I know rules are there to be broken
Rules are there to be taken
To be tasted in doses of medicines.

I know the beauty there, with the craft
Swinging and swirling…
When unspoken truth 
Cuts me into pieces
Left me shattered
And I lie there ….

And you will never know what I see.
I see an enigmatic, undivided sky!
Do these words need to be hand-written?
Whispered?
Or
Embossed?
Let me know before you’re your ringtones.

A DOMESTIC STRUCTURED PROSE
Her cardigan on the chairback,
shoes left in the hall,slippers ‘neath
the double bed,undies on the stool.
Handbag filled with this and that,
bathroom shelved of creams and
much besides;wardrobes,wall to
wall.Medicines boxed arranged so neat,
cellphone ready for a call,a text,
a chat,a listening ear,empathy
for one,and all.


Listen to me read this structured prose verse on youtube under my pen name ichtyschiro...
