The Land Down Under

Living in Antipodes whilst ingesting
prescribed antibiotics
Could be interpreted, what's swallowed 
is against life in the south
Be very careful 
what you put into your mouth

Do medications heal our given earthly body
I vote an emphatic no !!!
Cease an anti hypertensive drug
does your blood pressure remain low

It would seem to follow logic 
with research that being done to find a cure for heart failure,
ischaemic strokes and cancer
That all these fatal symptoms 
would now be in reverse
But statistics do reveal that death rates 
from these nasty afflictions continues to ascend
There's much more competition now 
to make a reservation to travel in a hearse

When surviving on what nature does provide
God given gifts of raw greens, many varieties of fruits and nuts
Does one as with medications need
what's called a Mims manual to check out any side effects
The ingestion of junk, soft drink, alcohol and toxic prescription drugs
The modern man and woman race is riddled with many painful, disabling defects

Come on people, don't accept all this propaganda
let the wool be pulled across your eyes
As an example this bioweapon, "affectionately" called a vaccination
Much anecdotal evidence to suggest
that even young ones are dying now like flies
