The Golden Dark Age

"Science" they cry,
Like "Gold" in Beowulf.
"We do not know how the protein
"Gets absorbed by the stomach."
By the stomach.
So with Vaccine science
And now Antibodies don't exist.
The stomach breaks down food
But doesn't ever digest.

"Science" they cry.
Like a wolf howling in the night.
Maths are purely a product of invention...
After all...

Meanwhile, my dad noticeably suffers
As he aimlessly forgets how to pay for groceries.
