We
may as humans be at the top of the food chain
Blessed
with extremely efficient and cognitive brains
Able
to over the environment to alter and mold
Air
condition our buildings against the heat and warm against the cold
But
with all our feats
We
may be heading for a major defeat
A
human generation comes around roughly every 20 years
Hundreds
of generations needed to mutate with enhanced survival gear
The
lowly bacteria that this planet and our bodies infest
Are
subdividing in just days to adapt to environmental tests
News
of a new antibiotic like Penicillin first introduced in 42 as the miracle
bacteria killing drug
Promised
to forever bacterial killers like strep fatally mug
But
the law genetic mutation meant there would soon come a day
When
bacteria became resistant and the drugs would no longer slay.
News
out of UCLA Med Center and Seattle’s
Virginia Mason is that of a frightening fatal trend
Patients
being exposed CRE super bugs with a high percentage of making the patients’ lives
come to an early end
Drug
resistant to even the latest antibiotic bug killers
If
going to a hospital makes one head first to a favorite brewer or distiller.
Another
super bug scourge
Becoming
more and more difficult to from our bodies purge
