You were desperate for a cure/ At first you weren’t sure/ So you got the testimonials/ You didn’t see the burials/
The people
you met were honest
And their
words were so earnest
Who
arranged the meeting?
Who set out
the seating?
Count the
hits not the misses
Self-deceived
we bear witness
We all do
it you know
Get gulled
by the show
Doubts we
try to mask
Questions are
hard to ask
Who
arranged the meeting?
Who set out
the seating?
Knowing
this we still fall
For the
trick one and all
When there
is not antidote
We grasp
the anecdote
And trust
what we hear
Skepticism
lost to fear
Who
arranged the meeting?
Who set out
the seating?
