Best Fda Poems
Good friends and also those that I don’t know,
I have a New Year’s dream I want to share.
It’s not one very typical although
it’s something about which we all should care.
I want the world to wake up to the truth
about the health care systems many use.
You see, I have become somewhat a slueth
discovering new things that are a ruse.
We’re living in the best and worst of times.
Health systems with which many of us live
are flawed; the toll for death by doctors climbs
for errors made and bad advice they give.
Big Pharma’s sheep, they write prescriptions for
bad drugs that bring more sicknesses than we
could ever have imagined years before.
I know this truth because they got to ME.
Big Pharma buries worthy remedies
or paints them in bad light. Go read online
the lies they tell! If you have a disease,
things FDA-approved are far from fine!
The FDA are puppets; see the proof
in foods they recommend for us to eat!
Don’t let yourself be victim to a spoof.
I dream of a new year free from deceit.
Jan. 2, 2020
My doctors, by omission, lied to me.
They had me take a drug I didn’t need.
It does no good; that drug’s a travesty.
Injections twice a year I’d get for free,
so to their “sage” advice I then agreed.
My doctors, by omission, lied to me.
Rare side effects I never could foresee,
but they’re online for anyone to read.
It does no good; that drug’s a travesty.
I trusted men because of their degree.
They’re full of crap. How could I ever heed
those men who by omission lied to me?
Their drug is used in chemotherapy!
That fact withheld from me was their dark deed.
It does no good and is a travesty!
To make bones strong?? I rant like a banshee
from Prolia’s effects – that demon seed!
My doctors, by omission, lied to me.
It does no good and is a travesty.
Dec. 23, 2018 for the Let 'Er Rip #2 Poetry Contest of John Lawless
If you or any woman you know is considering this drug for her bones, please read the parody of the Prolia commercial I put a link to above my poem. If only I had seen that parody before two years ago!! The greedy company Amgen is doing much more harm than good and the FDA just lets this "wonder drug" on through the gate. Denser bones, yes, but stronger no. A class action law suit has been won by people getting fractures months after going off Prolia because it makes holes in your bones and once you go off, you could get this horrible "rebound effect"!

THIS DRUG HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE FDA.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Are you upset by stomach pains
Diarrhea and bad cramps
Are you so dog-gone tired
You can’t even outrun your Gramps
Have you tried all the common cure-alls?
Medication - - - therapy
Massage and acupuncture
But relief just ain’t to be
Then perhaps you are finally ready
For a cure that some find quite weird
To counter your bad IBD
That the FDA still hasn’t cleared
See they think that an imbalance
Of bacteria within your body
Causes inflammation
And your stomach gets all knotty
So to fix that bad imbalance
Here’s what some say to do
Insert some helpful microbes
From someone’s healthy poo
Yes – I said from someone’s poop
A relative or somebody close
Just a pinch within the cheeks
Would be a healthy dose
It’s now trending in America
This desperate D Y I
If you suffer from this IBD
You just might give it a try
They are running tests in Canada
To evaluate and study
To see if fecal implants
Will cure or harm somebody
But there are those who’ve tried it
And swear it did the trick
No longer show the symptoms
No longer feel that sick
Now your doctor won’t approve it
Your friends will think you’re nuts
Passing fecal matter
The wrong way through your butts
But they say that just like blood banks
There will be donor centers too
Where healthy individuals
Can dump off healthy poo
Don’t ask me to assist you
Back where the sun don’t shine
But you can have a handful
Of any poo of mine
I don’t write this to belittle
The pain you’re going through
But I read this on the internet
So I know it must be true
And it just got me thinking
This might help someone like you
Another true news item from your Uncle Mike
When this happened it caught the world off guard
An epic scene, a memory that you could not discard
Who would have guessed these two titans of obesity and tooth decay
Would break so many kid's hearts in such an upsetting way
The loving memories before this you could not forsake
The day Twinkie the Kid battled Captain Cupcake
Toucan Sam would choose sides and give the Kid some twine
Cap'n Crunch would throw his fellow Captain a life line
Fruity Pebbles took one side and Trix Rabbit took the other
Aunt Jemima split sides with Uncle Ben her twin brother
Count Chocula severed ties with his long time friend Tony the Tiger of Frosted
Flakes
Nobody realized how much trouble was started when Twinkie the Kid battled
Captain Cupcake
Now both state their case in front of the FDA
This is to determine who goes and who stays
The Twinkie Kid tells about his spongy outside
Captain Cupcake fires back with his pure chocolate pride
Captain Cupcake mumbles I bet you would get seasick
Twinkie the Kid hears and replies I know a rotund fella like you couldn't control a
lasso or perform horse riding tricks
In the end, they both reconcile and admit trying to outdo one another was a big
mistake
Generations down the road, history will repeat itself with a legendary battle of
belly busters between Twinkie the Kid and Captain Cupcake
Here is a story that’s hard to forget
A beauty skin product from an old barnyard pet
He calls it Heal Fast and it’s made from pig lard
From the fat little pigs that he kept in his yard
It heals anything from acne to burns
And of jars that he’s sold, he has had no returns
You rub it on wounds or places you chafe
No proof that it works or that it’s even safe
And in spite of the fact it’s not tested so far
He’ll bottle it up and send you a jar
Sure, he’s working with doctors who’ll call FDA
And give them their findings about any day
But until that day (and this isn’t a joke)
You’re buying what’s known as a Pig in a Poke
Another true story from your old Uncle Mike

Now, I Can't Get Thru The Door for My Ego.. (Smile)
The farmer wakes to a great stir, a beast disrupts his brood,
But he can never catch his foe, for this beast shrewd.
He does not know he can’t contain this beast, for it is me,
He’s threatened, must strike first, but asks, what could I be?
Hey farmer, you’re mistaken, I ain’t no GMO,
You can’t control me, you don’t own me, I’ve got no Monsanto.
Or is it congress that you play at? You the FDA?
I see you: one face, two face, a new mask every day.
But that don’t fool me, ‘cause I know exactly what you do,
Recombining DNA, using a virus or two,
Invading minds and bodies, creating dependants,
Whatever tactics you can find to keep your ascendance.
Externally are social ‘norms,’ which you have put in place,
To ensure we self-police, a sort of ‘just in case.’
Because deep down both you and I know you're losing control,
You want the hens to flock, can’t let one feel like it’s whole.
Even the roosters know their place, don’t want to deviate,
You’ve bred your livestock well, and they still procreate.
Yet you attempt to censor our private and professional affairs,
Forget the glass ceiling, these are the Penrose stairs.
What you fail to realize is I won’t spiral down,
I’ll break free of your illusions and make it on my own.
Though I may lead your flock is grounded in that coop built strong,
While I will fly my heart’s content your hens can’t come along.
For hens don’t fly, nor roosters do, that’s just how they were made,
And so I laugh while thinking that of me you are afraid.
Give up while you still can, my friend; your ways I won’t espouse,
Your problem, farmer, is that there’s an eagle in your hen house.
Calamari
Have you heard the latest about calamari
If you haven’t yet eaten, stop now or be sorry
Rumors abound – maybe cheek in tongue
Of a gross switcheroo of squid and pig bung
A friend’s cousin’s friend’s sister once dated
A guy from a meat packing plant, so it’s stated
Because of the cost of the great tasting squid
That is exactly what his packing plant did
It’s kind of disgusting but plausible still
When you’re short on a product but have orders to fill
Battered and fried to a cute little ring
Pork guts or squid – it looks like either thing
But order it out and look closely to see it
They both look the same so it just might be it
Or set up a fryer and conduct your own test
Is fried calamari or deep-fried bung best
And if the FDA wants to end the disputes
They can simply approve the deep-fried pork poop chutes

Pollution
No shape, no color, no boundries
It is not the smog that blankets skylines
It is the people who scurry under it
We are born in to sin
I just wish it came with a shovel
We are programmed to dig our own graves
Alcohol
Tobacco
Sloppy sex
Greasy foods
Ingredients we can not pronounce
But have been conditioned to accept everything..
FDA approved
Are you not moved yet?
Have I not proved anything?
Are my words nothing but shapes thrown together?
Tossed away like garbage in the sea?
What has to happen who has to die?
Is the thousands of suicides and soldiers not sacrifice enough?
I do not stand alone but we are not standing together
No matter how many times you like that post it doesn’t save you a spot in heaven
It’s a distraction. taking you away from the work we must do to the physical world
Not the technological one…
I fear these words will only grace the eyes of so little
That in time will be lost in the archives of techonology..
We have lost ourselves in technology
We send smileys but don’t care to smile at a stranger
If we just look up for one second do you even remember what the sky looks like?
It’s darker than I remember
We no longer have necessities but over indulged in materials.
We are alive for a short time and should be living
Batteries are not included because we don’t need them
Break free from the robotics
Take a break from your techno narcotic
Because you can’t experience life glued to a screen
Go outside before it’s too late and nothing is no longer green

Mary had a little lamb that soon became someone's chops
That's a lie, a mouse never runs up a clock, only in the Boondocks
Little Miss Muffett sat on the Spider
Jack and Jill went up a hill, Jack killed Jill and tried to hide her
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard, there was no bone for the dog
Little Boy Blue got lost in the London Fog
Remember Little Jack Horner
He was put in a Roundhouse and told to sit in the corner
The Three Little Pigs were smoked and placed on the table
Goldi Locks visits The Three Bears more often now that they have Cable
Four and twenty Blackbirds were baked in a pie
The wolf was an assassin from the Government, Grandma was a suspected
foreign spy
Green Eggs and Ham
According to the FDA are now just as dangerous as Spam
Acoording to the Police, there was no Giant and Jack never had a Beanstalk
He was just stoned from his Marijuana crop
Georgie Porgie later became better known as Boy George
The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe, still trying to hunt the fathers down for child
support
Most of these celebrities wish to stay out of the spotlight
Twinkle Twinkle the Little Star dropped out of school and today is not so bright
Nature is a fugitive here now
the air thick with metallic salt
silver waves lap a barren shore
Governments bend and lie
as we all do – yet a silent army
of synthetic colors and dyes
march on attacking the palette
O alumina! O ammonia!
Fill me with your artifice!
Yellow cakes
Red sauces
Purple candies
Orange creams
Blue cereals
Green soups
Let your conspiracy of agents
wash over me - violate my organs
destroy my mind and memory but
never leave me without the taste of you
Firming agents
Coloring agents
Anticaking agents
Neutralizing agents
Dough strengtheners
Emulsifying agents
Stabilizers and thickeners
Leavening agents
Curing agents
I have never needed you
and have never wanted you
even though they claim you
are generally recognized as safe
Yellow cheeses
Red icings
Purple lozenges
Orange liquids
Blue creams
Green gums
The experiments began long ago
handshakes with a toothless FDA
a rainbow of profits for sellers all
But the pain you leave behind
is a story that has never been told
the proof is a truth held hostage
You have never really been scolded
never have felt any sense of shame
but we know all of your names now
War ain’t a kosher thing
The killing of innocent human beings
was never FDA approved
(From Da Almighty)
Ebenezer fiscals’ hands be closed tighty
to the citizen poor
But they openly solicit those laborers’ loyalty,
before sending them off to war
Dem silver-loving Scrooges
were publican greedy Re-schooled
Roman togas playing hooky pocket pool
Coin-operated Caesar stooges
are nod-and-wink
leveraging voter ears to be ballot fooled
Patriotic cash registers cha-ching jingling,
be heavy gold chains saber rattling
around their Faustian necks
For covetous J.I. chicken scratch eyes
love taking thirty more pecks
Warlords of the widow doorbell rings,
send their grave messengers
with the Silver Star death notice:
Crimson ink printed on
official government green leaves
Shallow-breathing, solemn feudal shoguns
sweetly give the veiled bereaved
a sepulchre stipend of le papier viol worms
Sour tastings ... dog tags confirmed
Napalm tear stings,
paid valor that was battlefield earned
Jarheads in a pickle —
power-mad orders gotta be followed
It’s treasonous to question
any chain-of-command authority
Shed the innocent blood,
then spill the guts
in hollow bullet grunt cries
for atonement
While the rich instigators of destruction,
never repent for owning it
After receiving approval from the FDA,
high fructose corn syrup replaced cane sugar one day.
The world market price of sugar went sky high.
The company thought they would give it a try.
The move significantly lowered the production cost.
However, the most ardent fans thought something was lost.
The world’s most popular soft drink earned a lot of fame.
Somehow, many thought the taste was not quite the same.
They still use cane sugar at production plants in Mexico.
Their soft drink today is the same as it was years ago.
So some people import the stuff from below the border in the south.
It’s the only kind that will ever enter their mouth.
