Prescription Drugs

The synthetic poison
that courses through my veins
churns the bowel of the earth
and sent a tremor through my heart.

What kind of remedy this is?

It heals one part,
But devastates the other,
What kind of potion man brews?
I see the flower buds  
bursting forth on one branch
leaving the adjacent portion barren,
It heals and harms
It yields and resists...

It resuscitates the body
but kills the spirit.
