At the famous Cleveland Clinic <br />works a rather nasty cynic. <br />Name is Nissen, he is sure <br />that he's found the final cure <br /> <br />for the heart and all its failings. <br />So he sent out two big mailings <br />to the people in all lands <br />making clear his strange demands. <br /> <br />'Let's put statins in the water! <br />It will help each son and daughter, <br />healthy and in perfect nick, <br />I myself want no one sick. <br /> <br />But it is a well-known fact <br />that God's work has always lacked <br />all the basics for survival. <br />I don't mean to be his rival <br /> <br />No I say it straight of face: <br />It is I who shall replace <br />him who bungled his creation, <br />gave to humans fornication. <br /> <br />Didn't know the basic science <br />thus I stand here in defiance. <br />Jesus likewise was not smart, <br />could not fix an ailing heart. <br /> <br />Well, may I present the answer <br />to infarct as well as cancer. <br />Block the pathway God has chosen, <br />keep cholesterol well frozen. <br /> <br />Kill, as well, ubiquinone <br />as it is a substance prone <br />to affect my medication, <br />which would bring the obligation <br /> <br />to announce to common folks <br />that Big Pharma makes no jokes. <br />So, I say, do trust physicians, <br />let us make all your decisions. <br /> <br />I'm your King and I alone <br />God has now been overthrown.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/replacing-god/
