Virus of Illusion

Can you feel it in the air?
Stunning smile lures you inside 
Cold laughter but no ‘beware’;

Poison like formaldehyde
sticking to your lips like sugar 
as you seek that easy ride;

Medicinal karma cures bad behavior 
Pill mills create easy distribution;
A prescription with a fatal answer 

One dose you see true intention,
the end of the virus of illusion.
