Face Off
Now’s the time
It’s time we’ve faced
That “research” known as ‘evidence based’.
Who plays? The one who pays.
Who determines wins the race…
Drugs and more drugs-a disgrace!
Does ANYTHING warrant second place?
Miles and miles of clinical trials
Not much there?
No cash to spare
What’s that? What then?
Write a grant and start again.
Thus observe
It takes some nerve
And common horse sense, yeah that too-
Moving mountains isn’t easy
But anyway it’s up to you…
Watch and wait
Ignore the date
Abusing, confusing
Tempting fate
(Discounting what waits on one’s plate)
Everyone with eyes to see,
It’s time.
Sublime
Wake up; be free!
Exerting wisdom and control
Should be every person’s goal
If still you have the will to see
Evidence rests with you and me.
Not some for-profit bureaucracy.
