THE BREAK OF DAY
The break of day!
The crack of dawn!
Look not at night's
shellshards
but at the newbird sun!
(to David Wright)
SPIDER WEB BEJEWELED
A spider web
dew bejeweled
.. shining necklace
hung on the throat
of dawn..
though its builder
means it as a deathtrap
for innocents
.. God has other plans
GREY SKIES
Slate gray skies
.. yet invisible within
the clouds
the existing ends of
the rainbow
-saiom shriver-
Author's Notes/Comments:
The 8th cause of death in the US, said NPR yesterday, more common than traffic accidents or Aids, is medical malpractice
.. whose mammon lovers cause 900,000 iatrogenic
foulups a year, from improper doses of medication
to incompetent or drunk surgeons, to toxic reactions
to lethal drugs.
When doctors struck in Los Ang, the death
rate went down.
Many doctors are bookworms..says the wife of one. After 4 years
of college 3 of med school 2 of internship
2 of residency.. they are emotionally stunted
headoriented people very far from healing
.. having already sold their souls sacrificing animals on the altar
of their greed
Who needs health insurance? Those who do
not have faith in God, Allah, Shiva, Divine Mother,
Higher Power.. God answers to all names.
Illness is first a spiritual block and only later does
it filter to the physical.
