In Memory of Mathew Herman Vain Killed 1970

23 may 2013 8:36 am Mathew Herman Vain A child who had no name Was killed before he was born His cell from his kidneys was torn Cloned and named HEK293 Those cells they use to satisfy you and me They use it in processes to make vaccines And process for artificial flavors obscene He had no name as from his mother he was torn And until now has not been officially mourned I gave him his name so all will remember This was a real child that science dismembered So people can be vain And glutony can rein
