@lugal @EfreetSK child mortality rates were pretty fucking high in earlier times. Around the time the original poem was published 40-50% of children under 15 died.
Only vaccines and modern medicine put this down to 4.2% globally in 2022, with the most developed countries reaching 0.3%
That is to say… that poem had a point.





@Krudler @alorgonkr I dunno, there was some inspired stuff over the years, but over time most artists hit a bit of a wall
