Indian~medicine
Long ago an indian medicine man cured all the indians
Then, indian medicine became extinct
And man adopted the white mans medicine
The white mans medicine can cure in some instances
Yet, may harm instead of cure at times..
Indian medicine uses natures healings~sharmanic healing
The only use for the white mans medicine is in time of emergency
In which case, the indian uses a tournaquit
Indian medicine cures before one becomes ill~
Heals, restores
And allows the body to heal itself
Poison is cut and removed from the body
Now, poison may be healed with the white mans needle
That is the best of the white mans medicine
In order that the indian survives the indian must
Return to the original healing of the indian medicine man
Society and history continue because of the way of the indian
And the indian~medicine
Which also nutures ones spirit
Cures ones soul
