PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Πρῶτον μὴ βλάπτειν, a principle misunderstood,

Not black and white, but shades of good.

Where healing's art meets science's light,

And ethical minds must choose what's right.

The caduceus gleams, a symbol misconstrued,

Where commerce and care are often viewed.

But Asclepius' staff, with single snake entwined,

Represents true healing, carefully refined.

In modern halls where choices weigh,

Doctors and patients find their way.

Through risks and benefits, they navigate,

Shared understanding they cultivate.

Some peddle cures with hollow claims,

Exploiting fears for selfish aims.

But true healers, with knowledge sound,

On evidence their practice ground.

"Primum nil nocere," a guide, not chain,

Encouraging thought in health's domain.

Balance sought 'twixt act and pause,

For healing's not without its flaws.

In research labs and by bedsides too,

Ethical minds seek what is true.

Through trials tested, their wisdom grows,

A beacon bright as knowledge flows.

ὀφελέειν ἢ μὴ βλάπτειν, the call remains,

For those who heal, not those who feign.

In partnership with those they treat,

They strive to make care more complete.

Though, he was working at the livery,

he would always be a cowboy at heart.

He longed to once again own a horse of
his own.

And his mind was totally blown

the day a young man named Bart

brought two horses into the livery.

“I'll be in town for a month or so

and I'll make you a deal.

I'm a gambler by trade, and only need

one horse, but I won this steed

he's a fine horse, but I don't feel

he's right for my need, you know?”

“I'll trade him to you in exchange

for taking care of the mare

while I'm in town. Our friend

quickly agreed, but then

to wth his boss, trying to be fair

to pay the gamblers bill himself, did
arrange.

Thus, he did acquire a spirited horse

who turned out to be the fastest animal
in town.

Oh, how he prized that stallion.

He named the animal “Scallion.”

He was happy to have found

a way to buy his own horse.

That night, when he knelt to pray

he Thanked God for blessing him.

He knew that this deal could only

have come from God, you see.

He did not know of the upcoming need
young Jim

would have, or in meeting it, the part
the horse would play.
