Placebo effect (a conversation with a friend)
Simply calling water
poison
doesn't make it poison
but it will still cause
some people
to feel sick
after drinking it...
like vaccines.
However,
when you call poison
water
everybody still gets sick
and dies...
like global warming.

Ignorance can be bliss, but it's also often fatal. The poison effect you describe is one way. Global warming's another. Might take a little longer but it's on the way. I'm glad someone's paying attention, Sammy.

one day, all water will be poison - we need to adapt to the poison or die - knowing its poison will probably not be enough :-(
great piece of "fuckin wake up people" poetry

Absolutely true, there's an obsession with mind over matter these days, but sometimes you've got to admit something is dangerous instead of glossing over it to trick people into thinking they're safe
