HERBAL MEDICINE IN THE 50's


 

In a neighborhood were toilet’s a novelty

Where people did their things the primitive way

Behind bushes, boulders and coconut trees

Playing barefoot and eating with hands dirty

Shrunken the kid’s limbs but bloated her tummy

 

Her parents’ unconcern made the parasites happy

Until one day

Wandering in the riverbank with stomach empty

She ate the small fruits of a vine that caught her fancy

Released a ball of roundworms the following day.
