Poetry Relief Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

When your soul is sneezing
Psychological perturbations squeezing it
Try the proven power of poetry
Poetry for the symptomatic relief of your soul

When your spirit develops doubting hives
People bringing unnecessary anguish from their lives
Try the soothing escapism of poetry
Poetry for the symptomatic relief of your spirit

When your intuition develops a runny nose
And you have problems writing prose
Try poetry
Poetry for the symptomatic relief of your mind

When your sixth sense gets itchy watery eyes
Smoke screens deliberately feed you lies
Try writing what your mind sees in verses
Poetry for the symptomatic relief of your perception

And when rashes cause raspy voices
Faced with many itchy choices
Try non-drowsy soothing poetry
Poetry for the symptomatic relief of all your problems.
