Short Pharmacies Poems

Even if I were deaf and blind
I’d know that spring isn’t far behind.
My trusty all-knowing nose
would instantly diagnose
I was suffering from allergies
without rushing to pharmacies.
How from these I’d love relief!
Why breathe at all when they cause such grief?...

There's no experience like learning that most chaos kills
I won't lie or pretend this,  x marks the spot my skin chills
An orange moon doesn't negotiate, what darkness wills
An existence plagued by pharmacies making bitter pills
So I'm crawling against the surge, brought by appalling stills
Disturbed by what relegates, our open hearts into, Roman thrills...

                                          Gatherer of Herbs
                           Storer of tree limbs, leaves, shrubs, love
                                         His cures a free gift
                 
                                         Gift of his knowledge 
                                         Free to early settlers
                                         Pharmacies use now...

yup two twenty two's
used to take four at one time
next came tylenol

then x y and z
from pharmacies deepest seas
thought i'd tried 'em all

now the cure is advil
in the pocket or aleeve
in my wallets sleeve

headaches just a pain
sometimes yes they're overboard
but sanity gains

through long years that teach
life's like that and i've wondered
"write home!....about what?"

Caught up in broke and broken
operating on what we can; 
Ready to rise by your own bootstraps? 
Or fall, never to be reimagined;
No answers with a diagnosis 
ask if humanity is worth saving;
Vitamins flood a prescription we should know ;
It’s a dangerous money making machine;  
Redefining lifestyles can change everything;
Understand you have a choice to stand up;
Stop feeding pharmacies instead of yourself....

Call yourself obstructionist
Who blocks a popular bill
A Democrat, I think not,

From West Virginia still.
You, the arbiter of right?
Your constituents starving, 

Coal companies pay your dues
Pharmacies in your pocket,
Stock is the name of your game.

Publicity you're craving
Run for the presidency!
Observe just how far you get.
