Paranoid

Is it me? Am I paranoid?
Take to me, fill my void
Listen, like a humanoid
Run to me, fast as an asteroid

 Worries, avoid
Your love, steroid
Stress, devoid
Your love, opioid

Opposing Views of Opoid

Opposing Views of Opoid

There are many opposing views of opioid,
And about this I am extremely annoyed;
Causes harm;
Rings an alarm;
No matter what should be sure to avoid.

Annoyed By An Opioid

Avoid Being Annoyed By An Opioid

What we should do is try to avoid,
Becoming angry and also annoyed,
Destroyed for sure,
Not have to endure,
Or being tempted by another opioid.

Premium Member More-Fin and Morphin

Doctor Pain used to prescribe more-fin
Until a patient put some in his gin
   He drank like a fish
   And made a weird wish
Opioid cocktail submerged his last grin 

            **********

A sex-change doc recommended morphin'
Prescribed a load of testosterone
   As body parts changed
   And brains rearranged
Man's higher nature was swiftly orphaned

Poisoning the Well

We turn a deaf ear
as they live with the pain
of those who we cancel
with biting disdain

Unable to rise
above selfish intent
with opioid bias
our progeny bent

Pontification
colors the flow
young ears once thought distant
to reap what we sow

The world as we leave it
our tracks in the sand
forever to haunt us
—as children disband

(Radnor Pennsylvania: December, 2021)

Premium Member Generation Change

it doesn't seem right
learning and research progress
are making things worse

frosh week will start soon
university parties
welcoming students

initiations
beer wine smoke and good times 
pharmaceuticals

opioid asprins
doctors prescription relief
ultimate release

just teach them its norm
and buy an overdose kit
accidents happen

post secondary
learning...and life essentials...
profits do come first

Premium Member How Odd

Partnering with death, poverty
Of hunger and homelessness
Seek the equality of all—Vowing 
Never to discriminate;

But their perpetrators
Continue to control the odds
Favoring a hued majority;

A hued majority remaining
A minority concern as their opioid
Conditions are not prescribed—
Just over the counter cash addictions;

So odd be the ways of mercy and equanimity
When it comes to the hued like you and me;
How odd.
