WITCHDOCTORS

There is a delicate balance between pharmaceuticals and natural healing elements.  too much or not enough either way is an imbalance which perpetuates suffering. You've expressed that well here.

Great you realised I'm against both actually, more for natural herbal treatments though when they don't work then allopathic is the last resort. Warm thanks for comment dear.

Cant argue this at all the world brings forth cures to heal our bodies but instead it heal one to weaken another

Yes so right on spot  on poet, we abuse even the healing stuff. Thanks ever so much for all your comments, I should read more from you coz your thoughts are great to read of.

well written & the thematic importance is right there...of these such widespread  ignorance & blind beliefs on witch crafts..also rightly you say of the other side too-the indifferentially loaded chemicals in our system thatt's even more eating one..reminds starkly -of our need to be living with & as nature, &  that too much of anything, even if its an elixir, would be a killer..
well said Zaynab..poetry with greater purpose you do..write on xx

Ah I'm impressed, what a wise lofty comment, I would always love to hear what u think. You look so young but have a great mind. Take care.

Welcome back dear Poet.

Well raised questions at a time where the confluence both ignorance and information overload is blinding many a so called modern humans.

Fluent and direct, the expression dear Sister. Job. Excellent job.

Thanks so much sir, I was wondering why u had stopped interacting about my poems. Thanks so much for your great thoughts on this, how you summed it was eloquent.

I really enjoyed this.

Thanks so much for telling me that poet! Best wishes,

Such perpetrators of ignorance still exist. Many do harm to others for their own gain. This is a good piece about those that care more about themselves than truly helping others.

Yes they still exist dear poet! Thanks so much for your nice comment, your thoughts matter .

While I do appreciate the sentiment expressed here, I must confess that i'm not a fan of rhymned poetry. I prefer more mystery in what i read (& write). It's very difficult to write it without making it mawkish or awkward. Such is my personal preference. But, as you've seen, I'm not too concerned with whether or not my poems are easily understood. I like it when i write things that even I don't understand.
     That said, I'm an old man contrarian who has NOT succeeded at the business of literature, so what do I know. Just maybe widen your "influences" by reading more late 20th century "free verse" & see what happens. There's an extensive list of poets who i consider "the masters" in my profile page. Plenty to choose from.    AND, write on!

Thanks for your comment! Yeah I know free verse is more popularised on many sites yet I write more for the message and content so I'm glad you acknowledged the sentiment. These are my old poems, so they will be in somewhat rhyming. Not perfect rhymes though. Lately I write more freeverse on other sites but I can't convert my crystal clear rhyming messages into free verse and some still like rhyme so I go on.
But to write sth which no one understands oh nohh that can be your unique style and choice but I want to be sure everyone gets my message as clearly as day. It would be against my style and intent to write abstract poetry . so cheers.

Nice rhyming. Love the cynicism on display here too.

Cyniscism eh. You love it so it must not be a bad thing. Thanks so much for feedback!

Lime and coconut,hmm  I like coconut without lime though lol.
Great you summed it up well with your fine comment, thanks so very much!

i like the flow and the  true rare thoughts of witchdoctors in some countries who believe in these rituals with strong belief for you catured it nicely just a subjection try shorten your work most folks dont like to read long pieces if they start half way through they stop unless the story keeps there attention like a book always remember you want your readers to follow you as you take them on a journey having there undivided attention to be able to see what you feel through your writing in an equal exchange of thoughts feelings and emotions...
