A Poem Fit for Our Times – ‘Me and My Friends’

Special to LifeSiteNews.com by Dr. John B. Shea, October 3, 2007

'Me and My Friends'

For me and my friends
To follow the trends
Is simply a matter of choice
Autonomy rules
That all but poor fools
Speak loud and speak clear with one voice

Some talk of abortion
With warning and caution
But science has shown very well
That it's safe and its normal
That it's healthy and moral
And that it sends no one to hell

Some say that to toke
Or to drink or to smoke
In the long run will make you quite ill
And they say the same thing
Of the condom and pill
But for us that is only a joke

And they say at life's end
May heaven forefend
We're dispatched by the medical staff
But why stick around
When so frail and bed bound
And living's no longer a laugh

So let's shout it out loud
That to follow the crowd
Is the proof of our freedom of will
And if even one prank
Should cost at the bank
Let the government handle the bill


TOPICS: Health/Medicine; Poetry; Religion; Society

The TRUTH is - mass corruption and killing. Go to www.myfoxny.com and search for clip using words: organ donation controversy. Note: this young man did NOT have strokes! Get the picture! This wonderful young man had a Constitutional Right to life - and this happened in our great USA! What’s really going on in Washington with all this organ donation legislation? Does anybody really know? - or do they just find out when it’s too late - after a beautiful human being was snuffed-out for profit.
