The Biting Pill
A star is in the making, hopeful and joyful,
Digital as it’s said, ready and set to go,
Dwindling in the spirit, rising but shaky,
A pill is fixed on the lips, slowly sinking in the mouth,
Substance abuse really, a bitter pill in our midst.
The pill is biting slowly, the pill is surely killing,
Having no boundaries, considering no gender,
Changing a hero to zero, from a leader to a failure,
Education will now be history, hopes will sure go down,
Risks will be so high, and ooops! life will surely sink.
Some will give them names, to hide the bitter truth,
The biting pill for sure, is here to steal and kill,
Separating from the visioners, fixing in the perishers,
Bitter will never be better, letter Z will never be A,
The substance really biting, hurting and hitting hard.
The star is making headlines, loosing all the lines,
Stammering and staggering, moving back and forth,
The pill will now be flowing, slowly down the throat,
Biting like a serpent, as it flows down to the belly,
The liquid is so lethal, blinding and even killing.
Shouting and loosing manners, the fruits of the taking,
Dirty mind and dirty self, cleanliness will never mind,
Highs will now be lows, determination will be frustration,
Zoom will now be doom, the visions will be rebellion,
All will now be useless, rise up and see the danger.
Let not the pill on your lips, sink down into your mouth,
Spit it out and know for sure, life will be assured,
And the liquid so lethal, drain it out of your mouth,
Stop and stop the danger, that threatens our future,
And in oneness and in faith, we clear the biting pill.
