RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Science
Science is not a conspiracy
Science is a methodology
Responsible for the advancement
And survival of the species
Without science we would be
Stuck in the stone ages
Struggling for existence
Reading signs and omens
In the mystic stars
And the dancing moon
Where to hunt and where to plant
When to move or make camp
Without science we would rely
On grandma’s recipes
And ancient cures
Releasing evil vapors
Through open wounds
To treat disorders and disease
There is a place for signs and omens
There is a place for natural remedies
But the survival of the species
Depends on scientific methods
Not superstition and mythology
Let the arts lean on magic
It is food that feeds the soul
It enables our spirits to fly
Our sweet imaginations to flow
But when a deadly virus takes hold
Allow science to lead the way
In a struggle for survival
Let science have its day
