Not based on Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sounds of Silence.” Nope.

A Eulogy To Science

♩♪

Hollow carcass, my old friend:
It’s sad you came to such an end.
Because division softly creeping —
Leftist seeds into your ground seeping —
Brought derision that supplanted your fair name
And still remains
Using the sounds
Of science.

In Greta’s dream we’d walk, alone,
Narrow streets of cobblestones
‘Neath the flicker of 8 street lamps
You’d turn your collar to the cold and damp
And a guy could be stabbed for the use of a neon light
They fought that fight
Upon the ground
Of science.

And in a naked grab I saw
Ten million dollars for Al Gore
People watching without thinking
Holding hearings without listening
People “righting wrongs” (“Consensus” never cared)
No one dared
Declare unsound
The science.

Fauci said: “You do not know
Science must put on a show!
Wear a mask or we might grab you!
Bare your arms that we might jab you!
But still arms must not be freely borne!”
No one mourned
Because dissent
Was silenced.

And the people bowed their pride:
Let the peon god decide.
And the Founders had left their warning
In the documents they were forming:

By design said
The treasures and profits
That are Madoff of new vaccines
And quarantines
Are buried
In the shroud
Of science.
