What the world owes to Chinese medicine
~ Alan
With apologies to William Blake
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
Tiger! Tiger! You must die!
We all know the reason why.
God made your organs, bones and skin
To use in Chinese Medicine!
Kill the lion!
Kill the lark!
Kill the walrus!
Kill the shark!
Kill the leopard!
Kill the dog!
Kill the monkey!
Kill the frog!
Kill everything in sight!
Kill by day, and kill by night!
The world will be a better place
When nothing’s left
But the human race!
Tiger! Tiger! You must die!
We all know the reason why.
God made your organs, bones and skin
To use in Chinese Medicine!
Kill the rhino!
Kill the mole!
Kill the badger!
Kill the vole!
Kill the skylark!
Kill the bees!
Burn the land!
Cut down the trees!
Kill everything in sight!
Kill by day, and kill by night!
The world will be a better place
When nothing’s left
But the human race!
Tiger! Tiger! You must die!
We all know the reason why.
God made your organs, bones and skin
To use in Chinese Medicine!
Kill the dolphin!
Kill the fowl!
Kill the otter!
Kill the owl!
Kill the elephant!
Kill the shrimp!
Kill the cheetah!
Kill the chimp!
Kill everything in sight!
Kill by day, and kill by night!
The world will be a better place
When nothing’s left
But the human race!
Tiger! Tiger! You must die!
We all know the reason why.
God made your organs, bones and skin
To use in Chinese medicine!
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
