Escapril 08
My mother is a pharmacist
Therefore, she perfects drugs;
My mother saves lives
Through modern applications.
The western world has become
One rife with junkies.
Brave pill poppers are we.
I’m prescribed them daily,
Treated to complacency,
Taxed to the grave–
I tell people my mother does drugs.
Technically, she tests the drugs
On compensated patients
Who might die– they might not
If it wasn’t for the drugs:
Wicked workings, poison,
The brain’s candy,
These are the drugs they want–
I subscribe religiously to my pills and potions.
Her medications
Fix problems they didn’t know they had.
Some drugs extend lives;
Others end them–
My mother is a pharmacist;
She preaches on drugs–
They aren’t the happy kind
Designed for addiction and release–
Drugs of the future;
Drugs as toxin and cure.
