LEST  WE  FORGET OURSELVES…A REMINDER
 
The medical men oft think, they’re super humans ,so nonpareil,
True, they are the diamonds, cut above the rest and uncut too,   
When the sails are blown off, they restore the sick back on trail,
May be their acumen brings cheers on the kith and kin too.

Their memory is worth a research stuff, yet they too suffer its loss,
One of their cult had this doubt, more in mind than he did fathom,
This sailor had  lost his track, having  gathered most of the moss,
Worried eyes spoke volumes, the distraught mind hidden in them,

Sought advice from his bosom friend, amidst a growing fear around,
Tests that followed laid  all doubts to rest, the solace never in astray,
Neurons link  human brain to every event, are intricate and sound, 
Question remains, where in the brain the memories remain and stay.
 
Browsed the net time and again ,the site of the memory still at large,
Hundred billions, their synapses and  thousand terabytes ,so huge,
Encoding, retrieval  chemically and electrically in combine on stage,
Make  entire acts so difficult to assimilate or understand in refuge.
 
The best we can do, forget all these neurons, forget their complexities,
Live in the present, enjoy and relax, the advice by the neurons to thee, 
So did the friend advise the hapless medico friend of these realities,
Hope this solace will not be forgotten by all, relax, forget thy worry
