inherent in this life
we seek to side step
and avoid every day
eventually
burrows it's way
deep into
the core of our souls
the shell
of distractions
we throw
at our hurt
does nothing
but divert
our attentions
away from ugly truth
Tis the rocket fuel
of prescribed chemical lies
Under the counter medications
disbursed across the nation
The collective blood
now flows happy
Pharmacy zombies
tethered together
The conquest is complete
Defeating the grim realities
of life in the 21st Century
Beautiful piece,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to quote bits of it then realised I might have to quote it whole!
This part "Pharmacy zombies
tethered together" reminded me of Aldous Huxley's sci-fi novel Brave New World, where people were given a weekly "ration" of "soma pills" to keep them happy.
Keep on writing Steve
Thanks Nada....I truly fear someday fear Huxley will be considered non fiction.. Check out an old poem of mine called Messenger Menace which touched on this scary topic
