Not on the news today-
a child got to play. No,
not on radio, TV or social media feed-
a garden, a kid planting a seed.

2017
first time ever
deaths from Measles worldwide dipped below 100,000.

You won’t see it on a president’s tweet-
little kids played on the street. No,
no juicy gossip, headlines and politicians taking heat-
look around and see, less wheelchairs on the street.

2017
all time low
15 people in this world afflicted with Polio.

A tribute to science,
a gift to humanity:
Vaccines lessen death and disability.
