Analysis of Medical Advances
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
They manufacture viruses
To use as lethal weapons
And then when one escapes the lab
They use lies and deception
A mask will help to stem the tide
Of contagious airborne diseases
The truth is that’s a fantasy
And God does as he pleases
You can’t escape the wind that blows
Unless you have a shelter
And no one ever really knows
If vaccine would have helped her
