DISEASE AND SOCIAL MORASS

It is with deep regret that I report on the uncelebrated demise of a foundling:

The new born, of one hundred and twenty seven years,

has succumbed to an undiagnosed case of consumption

for which a cure of worth could not be found;

Even when considering that an attempt at remedy

included the axing of parts from the foot to the crown.

The poor health experienced by the patient in solitude;

left cries of anguish that went unheard.

The traditional approach of bleeding was found to be ineffective;

having been a practice misadministered over several decades.

The insurgence of knife wielding operandi were responsible

for the patients impoverished constitution.

The primary approach, of utilizing the energy

of the most unprotected limbs to supplement the development

of the most privileged, had resulted in an immobile carcass,

ingratiated to its own self dependency.

The physical gratification of a small segment of the fledgling

had ignored moral responsibility and development.

The idea of a conservative approach to a liberal capital experience

took  the bare bones of supporting structure

and piled them into a discarded heap, unrecognized and unattended.

The principles of the employment of capital

for the expansion of wealth is only of value

where there is a shared distribution of its accumulation

in a broad range of the social strata.

The consumption of the elements of productivity

must be linked to their creation,

by the individuals who are themselves to benefit

in the employment of their manufacture.

How does one diagnose disease?

What of the spiritual abandonment of morality?

Will the medical practitioner defer his expertise?

The cleric stands aside to give absolution!

The body now a shell, a broken effigy.

The law has flogged the idle and the ignorant,

stripped away all remnants of individuality.

There is a sense of virtue held by the most unvirtuous.

Profit is the extolling of a given price.

There is no allowance for failure,

Or for the inability to pay.

Human waste is unrecyclable.

Blood and bone are poor fertilizer,

And the risk of communicating death greatest,

rendered by viruses and other social infection.

There are those blind not from birth, but from greed.
