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.
