Vaccination isn't new

In centuries it's been a few

Lady Mary’s pox vaccine 

Constantinople 1717

These amazing remedies

Fight those deadly enemies 

All that terrible disease

With death and disabilities

Since the greatest generation

People take their medication

Without corrupted hesitation-

Victims of disinformation

Trusting doctors with their lives

Sleeping soundly under knives

Anything to stay alive

Until this poison starts to thrive

Sadly though there has erupted

Duplicity that has disrupted

Trust tradition now corrupted

Life saving therapies obstructed

From the depths has emerged

A malignancy that’s purged

Common sense from planet earth

Devoid of evidence and worth

Epiphany

 Epiphany

Appearing:

Genuine appearing rather than a misleading apparition.

Understanding:

A genuine understanding and appreciation of the facts instead of illusions and alarmist conspiratorial theories. 

Like an oasis in the desert as that inspires relief and hope in the weary traveller rather than mirage that plays mind games with desperate travellers who have already lost their bearings. 

Religion:

Are the fruits of your faith, joy and peace and love 

Or will your beliefs end in disappointments and frustration and anger?

Is your religion a crutch? 

Is it full of fairy tales and simplistic moralism?

Or does it help you get in touch 

with the person that you really are, and were meant to be – 

the truth that lies beneath?
