Is there any other enterprise on Earth viewed
with equal measure of respect and disdain beyond
Big Pharma whose bottom line is the goal its
brilliant science vibrates to for happy shareholders
drive the machine that produces life-saving drugs
the world is so deeply attached to. Challenged to
solve the riddle of a deadly pathogen biomedical
engineers tasked with the urgency of mounting
deaths created a miracle bringing deliverance
to a threatened world population, heralded
for their genius, blessed for their supreme
science, congratulated on their beating time
at its own game, they were enthroned as
saviours as the world responded with an
anxious uptake of a COVID-evading vaccine.
Perfidy, thy name is humanity, no longer
enamoured with the romance of deliverance
resentful of lagging production and shortfalls
state governments fume as their populations cast
blame upon their inept performance as they
cast about for a political lifeboat and soon
enters the prospect of lawsuits to punish the
arrogance of Big Pharma, this time for utterly
inexcusable drug component shortages, national
border restrictions and production complications.
