Bad Medicine

Whether stews of bark

Or chemical concoctions

Both are basically the same –

A placebo

Cueing healing from within

But pretending it’s from without.

I grope in darkness

For the Big Button-

I know it’s there-

True realized healing,

Not tricking ourselves

With leeches and magic potions.

True healing from the

One and only source of healing.

What do you believe?
