Uncle Bobby’s Poetry
Knowledge Has Been Lost
Back years ago when kids got sick
Folks knew just what to do
As years went by it’s all been lost
And we haven’t got a clue.
They knew the roots and herbs and twigs
And which ones the should pick
They mixed up their own medicine
For others who were sick.
They learned it from their mom and dad
When they were in their youth
They knew how to treat a fever
Or to sooth an aching tooth.
And how to treat the skin
That had been touched by winter frost
But now there’s no one left to ask
That knowledge has been lost.
We never went to doctors
Back when I was a kid
I wish I’d took the time to ask
So I’d know what they did
There’s things that grow in the wild
If we knew the things to do
There’s something there that’s guaranteed
To cure what’s ailing you.
Now I’m one of the old folks
My race is nearly run
I sure wish I’d learned some of that
So I could help someone
It’s plain to see that all of us
Will have to pay the cost
From not learning from the old folks
Now a way of life is lost.
In response to Mr. Hedge:
Mr. Hedge you assume old ways are hopelessly lost,
But we “moderns” are beginning to count the cost.
Granted, few of our old ones who hunt the herbs,
Are now here beside us to guide with our urge.
Still “moderns” learn, if only bits and pieces,
Searching through journals and medical thesis.
We still discover uses of wild things that be,
And best of all, I may add, see what we see!
Yes, it’s different learning from institutions,
We’re a little less clever with few intuitions!
With the “health care” crisis and sickness prevailing,
We’ve answered the cry to correct our own ailing.
You said you are old and your race is soon over,
Don’t give in too soon to be pushing up clover.
Some are careless, disregard and throw away,
But others come after to halt, hunt and save.
Thankfully, the natural world will be,
Rich here forever, with insights to see.
Bobby Hedge, 2007
For God, you know, the Eternal, who wrote,
“While earth remains, seedtime, harvest, cold and heat,
Summer and winter, day and night shall not cease.”
There will always be folks who eagerly yearn,
About herbs, roots and twigs, and what we can learn.
