Echo:
This is my dream sincerely:
A just distribution of privilege
And teachers – not scientists merely –
Liberty from the tyrant’s bondage –
A more practical and sympathetic view –
Are all part of the solution, too.
Science:
But scientific solutions are cross-cultural
And speak with universal authority,
An all-explaining cure-all
For the ills of ill-informed humanity:
Scientists are the true heirs of the Renaissance –
Nothing shall hinder their advance!
Echo:
Nothing shall hinder their advance,
When Milgram’s¹ saints march in
On the experiment to elucidate the response
Of unquestioning obedience to a boffin
That manifests in administering shocks,
Proving deification of docs.
Science:
But nothing must stop the patient
Gathering of corroborative data!
Nothing must stop the patient
Dying from the diet we administer,
Till statistics show it has failed
And more homespun methods can be unveiled!
