Pill Boxes

Throw them away

By Jen VietsPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Pill boxes filled with multi candy colored drugs

created by big pharma corporate thugs

keeping you supplied from the cradle to the grave

most definitely not your life they are trying to save

the only heatlth is the growth in their banks

while the health in your body tanks

doctors looking at screens more than they look at you

hurry up move along, they have a job to do

no time to check your mind body or soul

their knowledge of true health one big black hole

pills just bandaids masking the pain

a mutlitude of side effects creating more strain

time to take your power back

throw that pill box away Jack

inspirational
