Normality

Normality 

The science saved the day, again
No Frankenstein theatrics
Or headless brain 

The villagers chase, not to fork or to prod
No burning torch, crucifix 
Or running prayers to God 

And while we applaud with no sense of reserve
The white coated wonders 
And those who deserve 

Part of me Hopes, as the lightning strikes
That our eyes flicker open
When reality bites 

We learn not to tinker with life's natural rhythm 
As peace is restored 
We re-love what is given 

But thank you for now
The brave women and men;
For the God-given gifts in you
Save us again 

For the clowns at the table; 
Please don't lead us astray
For the price could be shocking
In it's own kind of way.
