Due to a host of human flaws
I have aquired two new habits,
man makes up theories and laws
just think of Keys and all his rabbits.
In a colossal fit of rage
he focused on cholesterol,
wrote notes about it, page by page
and did not spare the vitriol.
And half a century went by
with millions killed by medicine
they have not learned, and folks still die
the devil wears his constant grin.
Though here and there a voice is heard
about the fallacy as such
a treatise written by a nerd
stirs up the sceptics and the Dutch.
And murmurs grow within the ranks
perhaps we have a faulty plan,
yet peer review says, change? No thanks
it truly is the bogeyman.
So, to the consternation of
the citizens in all the lands
they argue, criticize and scoff
as tunnel vision ties their hands.
But,60 years is rather long,
to lead us down the garden path,
but to admit that they were wrong
don't hold your breath, just do the math.
A man may make himself a noose
and even try it on for size,
but few would kill the golden goose
this tells us where the problem lies.
Digressing now, truthseekers fooled,
oppressed, deceived and sternly ruled
the great rewards of untold wealth
are found by dabbling in health,
one utilises innate fears
and whispers furphies into ears,
take fluoride, it's a halogen
it 's given to your next of kin,
an enzyme killer to the cell
imported, seemingly from hell.
The silliness may never end
as sanity goes 'round the bend,
and hear ye, now, there's climate change
the chemistry extremely strange,
carbon dioxide is no foe,
you may recall, I told you so.
Would I forgive you if you asked
the motives of these common thieves
it took a while but I unmasked
the hidden cards inside their sleeves,
mankind can be divided thus
in two large groups, just one is plus
the other has a minus soul
a one track mind, a single goal:
Strip down your fellow man and sing
the praises of the well-dressed king,
Joe Citizen, the Emperor
the proper term is temperer,
so let me close this cynic's tale
do lock them up, and don't post bail.
