Little Pills
by Dale Clark → (All Poetry by Dale Clark)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook



medicated memories
prescribed tranquility
left alone
discolored swirls
hallucinated dreams
persecuted souls
hollowed inside out
liver dysfunction
lubricated musings
diseased mind
hide in crowds
without love
without passion
huddled conferences

profound thoughts
prescribed dreams
confronting shrinks
minds minisculed
power taken
visions inflated
medicated poetry
beating heart
fractured soul
death awaits
masked deformities
diseased mentalities
veiled dreams
prescribed little pills

"hide in crowds
without love
without passion
huddled conferences" ---- YAOWZA! Can you dig any deeper! This cries!

Feeling is illegal these days! And the prescribed dreams and medicated poetry part! There is not one line that I became bored with. Amazing damning you do so cleanly here Dale. Fine work.

Thank You,
Teresa Emilie

Why in this society do doctors always want us to take pills for everything? You sad for more than a day or two? Take a pill. Are you shy and uncomfortable around crowds? Take a pill. Can't do public speaking? Well, we have a pill for that too. My gosh, aren't we allowed to just FEEL anymore? Great write!

PS Sorry for the rant...I suppose there's a pill for that too! LOL
