A Poem Fit for Our Times – ‘Me and My Friends’
Special to LifeSiteNews.com by Dr. John B. Shea, October 3, 2007
'Me and My Friends'
For me and my friends
To follow the trends
Is simply a matter of choice
Autonomy rules
That all but poor fools
Speak loud and speak clear with one voice
Some talk of abortion
With warning and caution
But science has shown very well
That it's safe and its normal
That it's healthy and moral
And that it sends no one to hell
Some say that to toke
Or to drink or to smoke
In the long run will make you quite ill
And they say the same thing
Of the condom and pill
But for us that is only a joke
And they say at life's end
May heaven forefend
We're dispatched by the medical staff
But why stick around
When so frail and bed bound
And living's no longer a laugh
So let's shout it out loud
That to follow the crowd
Is the proof of our freedom of will
And if even one prank
Should cost at the bank
Let the government handle the bill
