Slave to the Pill
© Jaimey Perham 04/13/2010
No matter how hard I try I am a slave to this pill
No matter what I think, or do the confusion of life challenges my will
Just like when the taxman hands you his masters part of the bill
You must keep moving forward hope is just over that pyramid hill
Part of you will change the rest will remain the same
It’s easy to put others and society in Gods third eye to blame
But try to look deep within yourself at the problem, so your heart will claim
The love to open the secrets of your troubled mind so you might shine
With others to help you through these tidal waves of time
So you may discover the reality of truth, a fine aged wine
But with that gift of fact, be careful you don’t get a burn
If you do accept that ancient warrior’s wound, try to learn
We all make mistakes on this wheel of life that continues to turn
In the end what is our destiny here on earth and its ultimate plan will be
Your book of life from birth to death will be filed in the Holy Temple for you, God, the wise souls to see
And you will slowly drift into the cool light air away from the hot heavy heat
Finally feel grounded, centered, and complete
Whole from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet
Ready to face the next challenge of life whatever the perplexing beat…

The metaphor of "the pill of life" is so clever and so true. Very well written and thought out.
