Who is that magical being
professing to have all the answers
that will cure each of our cancers.
Can it be our new director
busy reinventing the wheel
or the woman in the corner
rocking on her heel?
What is the magic formula
we hope to find that will fix it all
be it very large or very small?
Is there that certain path
that turns effort into success.
Where do I get that special blend
of a mystical tablet or soothing elixir
that will make me feel well and merry
perhaps it will be in the apothecary?
When will I find the right one
to tell me what I should do
and how it should feel?
Possibly the woman down the street
with all her wise old wives tales
all starting with mother said.
How will I know unless
I look in the mirror and ask
“Am I part of the problem
or part of the solution.”
