Messages, messages pounding my brain Messages wanting to drive me insane Blood pressures’s rising, better seek fear Kidneys are failing, dementia is near Pills for depression, pills for the pain Pills for the holiday weight that you gain Talk to your doctor, talk to your nurse Don’t forget also, best bring your purse CEO’s marketing millions of meds CEO’s out to maneuver the Feds Raking in dollars for Beamers and Benz Hoping that none of us see through their lens Messages, messages flashing my eyes Side effects whispered in rapid demise Healthcare for profit has gone way too far Despite all the voices , I’ll be at the bar!

The great reset ... scaring instead of caring. To many pills that arn't really very good deals. Everything cost to much for what you get. Hard to find fair price or value in any purchse. I really like you're writing style ... the rhythm is very engaging, Mike. Have a great week my friend! Bill
