It Can't Be Good To Hold The View ...
That I'm A CROOK Because My Top Has Got A Hood ... !?!

The Weather Now Can Be Quite FOUL ... !!!
WITHOUT An Umbrella I Could Be DROWNED ... !!!!!

That's Just A Joke But Listen Folks ...
Judgements Made On How I Look In My Opinion ... CAN'T Be Good ... !!!

But This In TRUTH Is Where THIS Poem Really Starts ...
What About The SIX In ... " Northwick Park " ... !?!

A Hospital Where We're Now Aware ...
Peoples' Lives Are Played With Like MICE .... !!!!!

Now THAT CAN'T Be Good And SURE AIN'T Nice ... !!!

Some It Seems Have Paid The Price For Taking RISKS With Their Own Life ... !?!

Do You Think That Cash Is Worth ALL THAT ... ?!?

No-One Surely Would Do This For FREE ... ?!?
NEW Drugs Tried Out ... ON YOUR BODY ... !!!
Some People Are A CONFUSED Breed ... ???

I Can Hear It Now ...

"No sympathy, come on Big V, they're victims of A TRAGEDY !"

Well The Price They Pay For Where They Lay ...
Is Due To Drugs They WILLINGLY Put In Their System ... ?!?

Or Is That Simply NOT The Case ... !?!

Was Anyone FORCED By Someone Holding Up A Gun ... !?!
I'd Like Answers To These Questions ... !!!

Come On DON'T YOU ... ?!?

My Words May Fuel Controversy But REALLY Should Our Sympathy ...
Go Out To Those With Families Who Fall FOUL of Drug-Testing Schemes ... ?!?

It's Just Something Worth Pondering ......................................

I'd Rather Have STRONG Relatives ...
Than Have Someone With Cash That's Sick ... !!!!!

That CAN'T Be Good And That's My View ... !!!
It May Sound CRUEL But Are These Things People Should Do ... ???!???

Nuclear Testing Chemical testing ... ?
NEITHER I'm Sure Really Have Gods' Blessing ... !?!

Some May Try To Say That I ...
DON'T Have The Right To Say These Things When Tests SAVE LIVES ... !!!

That's TRUE But Where's The Common Sense ...
In Tests That Leave Some CLOSE To DEATH ... !?!

I Know These Words May Well UPSET But THINK About The Things I've Said ...
If You Were Left WITHOUT Someone Who In Your Heart You TRULY LOVED ... !!!!!

Could Cash REPLACE SEEING Their Face ... ???

But ... "What if it helps the human race ?" ...

Is What You'll Hear Some People Say ...

If You Call That HELP Then HELP Yourself To Cards Misdealt ...
By Those Who HOLD ... " Pharmaceutical Wealth " ... !!!!!!!

Let Me Ask You THIS Do They Test THEMSELVES ... ?!?
Why Use Humans If It's For Our Health ... ?!?

CERTAIN Things ... " We Know " ... !!!
CERTAIN Things ... " We DON'T ... !!!!!

Will Humans In The End Be A Breed of CLONES ... ???
Star Wars SHOWS How That Story Goes ... !!!
Will OB1 Kenobi Be Our ... ONLY Hope ... !!!?!!!

I Hate To Say This But Maybe So ... ?!?
Scientists And Their Tests Are AGENDA Lead ... !!!
HYPOCRISY SURROUNDS Scientific Schemes ...

They CLAIM Their Aim's To RELIEVE PAINS And Viruses of DIFFERENT Strains ... !!!
Okay That's Great But The Elderly When OLD And GREY ...
Are Left To DECAY And Now May Face ...
A Reduction In Those Who'll ... " RESUSCITATE " ... !!!!!
When ILLNESS HITS Their Final Days ...

AREN'T They Part of The Human Race ... !?!?!

People Now REALLY NEED TO BE WISE ... !!!!!

Movies Like ... " The Hills Have Eyes "
Prove We NEED To RECOGNISE ...
Medical Tests Or Otherwise ...
Are RARELY For The Purpose of Saving Lives ... !!!!!!

For Those That HAVE I'm TRULY Glad ... !!!!!!!
But Some AREN'T Good And That's A FACT ... !!!!!!!

You May Find That You CRASH And BURN ...
Or Like The Film Make A ... WRONG TURN ... !!!

Try Watching THAT FLICK And You Might Learn ...
GENETIC Tests Have Probably FILLED A Number of Urns ... !!!!!

NATURAL Selection's What I'm STRESSING Leave The Medics To Their TESTING ... !!!

Let Them PLAY With Their Test Tubes Rather Than Play Around With Blood YOU USE ... !!!!!!

THAT May Result In YOUR LOVED Ones Being On The News With A Box of Tissues ...

Why Would You Choose To Make THAT MOVE ... !?!

REALISTICALLY .....
