The avian flu may worry you. <br />I'd like to tell you what to do. <br />The virus has not yet evolved <br />they talk about a problem solved <br />if plenty money can be thrown <br />into the mess it will be shown <br />that modern medicine is king <br />together we will beat this thing. <br /> <br />The virus has not even hatched, <br />the avian one must first be matched <br />and in the lab they'll make vaccine <br />amounts the world has never seen. <br /> <br />You cannot make any vaccine <br />no matter how enthused and keen <br />until you have at last created <br />that nasty virus, so ill-fated. <br /> <br />Thus, scientists, paid by Big Boys <br />(who drive around in their Rolls Royce) <br />will risk the death of you and me <br />(in case the virus does get free) <br />in order to take counteraction <br />and save a very tiny fraction <br />from certain death, like sixty-five <br />in Asia, who are not alive <br />since all this propaganda started. <br /> <br />But do remember that vaccine <br />will be a dummy, as it's been <br />made from a phony particle, <br />they scrapped a major article <br />that told what no one wants to hear- <br />more money can be made from fear. <br /> <br />The flu itself is nothing mean <br />I'll skip the advertised vaccine <br />but if they do experiment <br />it will not help if they repent, <br />so pray, you poets who believe <br />for sanity and a reprieve. <br /> <br />May God forgive those moneychangers <br />who are among us, friends and strangers <br />they're made of stone and endless greed <br />and money is their biggest need. <br /> <br />Big Pharma would take vitamins <br />and throw them in the rubbish bins <br />this would convince you that your choice <br />rests only with the Pharma Boys . <br />And, once dependent, in their net <br />you've lost the game of life, you bet.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-my-attic-vi/
