America is a lie,
sometimes we agree with the lie,
often, we do not see the lie.
The people in charge of lying,
the clandestine agencies, the military,
both corporate, industrial, and
pharmacological, all lie.
media misinformation's agenda
is to propaganda, to control your reality.
If you are aware, you will not believe anything,
if you are wise, you will dismiss these words,
deny ever having read or written them.
Apathy’s paralyzation,
Iridescent indignation,
Steely eyed, grim concentration,
Ebullient, effuse elation,
Scheming klepto pilferation,
And dysphoric ideation
Drugs for every situation
Prescription proliferation
Pharmacological nation
Where’s my pills? Where in tarnation?
Particularly peripatetic
penguins pursue pharmacological
possibilities perusing polar
predator proboscis predilections,
predominantly picking putrified,
phenobarbital-packed perch-piece puree
packings, provocatively presented.

I wish I could have gotten a rhyme in there as well,
but that's an alliterative Pleiades with 10-syllable lines.
It's also a near summary of the latest escapades over on
the collaborative limerick thread in forums...
Come join us!
Pharmacological firms drained out
our medical recipes for free
and are selling them now as patents
for lucrative prices.
Our medical recipes belong to everybody
for sickness is evil
and even worst human is better than sickness.
We are the warriors, the brave man
with honor and dignity.
Only defensive fight and war
are right, vengeance is evil.
The vengeance belongs to Great Spirit,
the creator and giver of life
We do not have ethic build on
personality but character.
Our characters are our inner values.
We are only the tools of Great Spirit.
We call to him to give us grace and redemption.
People who took our medicines disrespect us,
but we do not call them our enemies
and we extend our hands to greet them.
We want to work with them in unison.
Wo yay yay wo -
Medicine Man, cure all the people.
