Institutions Of Higher Learning In America



Debt mountain's of student debt.
Critical thinking has all but fled our young
children.
They grew up
playing the X-box and eating antibiotic
filled chicken.
It's genetic
do you expect some hidden intelligence
that never was there.
There are but a few of them left
intellectuals those with drive those with
ambition
those that no longer have the intelligence
that passed nothing down
except to eat those unhealthy happy meals.
I look these unfortunate teenager's in the eyes
naked blank stares
nothing inside that looks back.
Asses so wide wrapped around five foot hips
tennis ball heads cupie dolls
attached to fifty year old bodies
and their twelve.
Sixty percent of the parent's have killed the
future of their kids.
There is nothing special about special education
here
where special education points this all out
and guilty parent's when after reading this become
enraged
enraged at me
for pointing their criminal deficiencies out.
Simple math equals
an eighty I.q. and an eighty I.q.
doesn't add up to one hundred sixty to U.S.
So our once great country raised on contaminated
chicken and x-boxes
have had all that once was unique
lopstrocities for parents
whom made all those lops and loplets
the spitting image of all
you should fear.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
You can construe it as a kind of spectrum.
And at one end of the spectrum,
there's giving antibiotics for diseases to animals that are't sick - and no one disagrees with that.
And on the other foot,
there's this practice that's been under scrutiny
since the 1970s called growth promotion in which you give tiny doses of antibiotics that weren't needed for anything
to animals routinely in their food or water
so that they put on muscle meat faster and they can be sold faster.
In between those two,
there's a kind of mushy middle
in which drugs are given to prevent disease
it's called prophylaxis or metaphylaxis
tim to protect animals against the diseases that most people have.
And what McDonald's has said is that they will continue some of that mushy middle practice by using a particular class of antibiotics called ionophores.
And a lot of public health people are actually okay with this.
The reason is because ionophores aren't used in human medicine.
So if using them on the farm creates antibiotic-resistant bacteria, then
this is not going to be so much of a problem because ionophore-resistant bacteria wouldn't be significant for humans.
