The Van Pelt - The Good, The Bad & The Blind

Was it right when
It made the germs that
Would have put you away before the vaccine?

Or was even that nearsighted?

Like the x-ray
That pinpointed the break
And showed us the baby before it was too late?

Before the meat turns
Toxic in our tubes
Beware the "fittest and the cycle"
That too often turns a stalemate.

Crucify our father Edison.
Sacrifice to the New Mysticism.
Smash the bulbs that lengthen the day.
Grind up the pills that took the fever away.
Behold! The monsoons and the river snakes
