A poem about the power of vaccination

Smallpox, polio, measles,

diseases of the past,

killed of by the vaccine,

health was here to last.

Today there is a new plight,

no vaccine here in sight,

experts in labs are working,

through the tunnel towards the light.

We are a species run on vaccines,

medicines and hope,

new threats come out to greet us,

our science fights them off.

Evolutions, science, money,

the building blocks of modern life,

if not for the humble vaccine,

our health would feel more strife.
