Neem Trees Poem by Juan Olivarez

The future of medicine?
miracle cures for every ailment,
known to man.
Possible cures for diabetes, hypertension,
maybe even cancer?
As usual modern science, and medicine,
falter in the stretch.
The mysticism, and ancient wisdom,
Of the far east wins again.
One tiny sliver of the very bitter bark,
used as a toothpick,
Instantly,
Kills all bacteria, in the mouth.
In India,
All parts are used and consumed.
The berries, the leaves, the bark, the new shoots.
Why are neem trees not on the cover of the,
journal of the american medical association?
neem trees have been used in the far east,
For over two thousand years.
The results are astounding and in some cases,
incredibly hard to believe.
neem trees, the future of medicine,
But only in the states.
Everybody else already knows.
