Medicine Man

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS

 

Medicine Man *

 

Cod liver oil for measles

Prayers in place of vaccines

The medicine man will cure you

He’s the greatest you’ve ever seen

 

Kids are dying in Texas

They’re dying in Arkansas too

They’ll be dying all over the country

Before this man is through

 

He believes in the methods of science

Unless they aren’t in his book

He’ll insist on absolute silence

While he gives it another look

 

He recommends echinacea

For all ailments without a clear cause

All remedies from parts of Asia

Where they eat wild animals raw

 

He’s the medicine man American style

With a cure for every disease

If it’s not in his miracles file

He will charge you a modest fee

 

* Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
