Recent Revelations
horrific, decades-long
study syphilis, study its effects
covert medical testing
army scientist
bitten by mosquitoes,
yellow fever
mustard gas,
enter chambers
temporarily blind
dark age
hospital patients
injected with plutonium,
atomic soldiers
in the waves
of nuclear explosions
trace amounts of radiation,
in breakfast cereal
of handicapped children
new drug, LSD
dropped over a French town,
unsuspected, hallucinations
with the latest discovery,
reports of dark practices
soon to follow.
