Joe Maverick Poet Free verse

Punitive Harm study '

1932 till 1972...Public Health Services put
Black males in a study, that much is true.'
Imperitive was that the course be run up
To death, then autopsy no true medical help to be given under tavel of moon or sun
The incentive for participents.? Free hospital cover, and funerals paid.' In Tuskagee Alabama, was the place it was out-played.' Fast forward to 2020 what real
Difference in advice and care did we observe? After ninety eight years..I"m asking.! What about you.?

John Loving Iii December 17, 2025 at 2:06 PM The sins of that time were sins of that time the sins of today are what we see them to be lies, cover up, the love of money. Which the Light is slowly beginning to shine on Brighter and brighter. Few have repented and began to fear God. But to few believing in God is odd.
