Trees For Medicines Are Forgotten Poem by Chan Mongol

TREES FOR MEDICINES ARE FORGOTTEN
Poem by Chan Mongol
July 2 of 2019


Since over sixty thousand years, we lived on trees, herbals;
Even now, medicines made of trees, plants with chemicals.
We earned skills in generations since 60 thousand years,
We lived healthy on organic foods from trees, agriculture!

Suddenly, the network of United States chained the earth;
New weapons, modern ‘chemical-medicines' took birth!
Pharmaceutical labs took the control and became powerful,
They donate to elect Prime Ministers and Presidents to rule!

We are at the edge to forget herbal medicines for treatment,
Elders don't live anymore to pass on knowledge of ancient.
Encouragements are so much to be greedy, to be top earners;
Maximum earners are now modern labs and medical doctors.

Are they curing or just playing to make money for many days?
Patients don't see alternative, system is such a fixed craze!
People get cured in due time because, time heals wound, fever
Doctors take full advantage of any sickness including cancer!

Let citizens grow medicine plants the way their ancestors did!
But those useful trees are under the control of medical greed.
Once, every home had life saver plants in the forgotten past;
Now, we have to live on medical chemicals with unknown dusts!
