know of no healer
know of no healing wall,
but an appealing wailing one
heard of used car dealers

know of the butter knife
without the butter,
without that culinary piece
would there be an end to stife?

is there a greater plan on mosquitos
without the West Nile import?
would any of you be so quick
enlighten me from this form of life
up to humanity and the end of strife
throw in the butter knife

direct me straight to walls that heal
I'll tell of years of servile kneels.

This healing wall you search of... you can visit every day through prayer my friend.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

The point of the poem runs deep here..and is not a statement of my looking for healing but a lack of comfort with 'the system' and what it has to offer...the last two lines sums it up.
