Myopic science

sorenbarrett

For four hundred thousand years man had fears dealt with by spears
Only in the last couple of centuries, fought with chemical technologies
Discovery of germs and parasitic worms 
Added chemicals to water, the bacteria to slaughter 
Poisons for the bugs, for illness drugs 
Our immunity, lost with scientific impunity
On one thing to focus science's hocus-pocus
With its constricture it can't see the bigger picture

    Good write SB. Ahh, another item to add to my recipe book for when I prepare KP's meals - parasitic worms. She'll like those! lol.

        Is she a worm too? She worms her way in to get botox money from me. lol.

          Didn't mean it that way old man just thought that while she was eating them they would be eating her too from the inside out. You will need some medical help there.
