Pills

Pills for all the world
So navigating this hell
Is made possible

Generations past
Never needed what we do
They simply just lived

Life not now enough
Need smiles etched to our faces
So we take the pills

Some of them prescribed
Others made in labs near streets
We fear to approach

Always finding out
The easy way to survive
Without the effort

Pills for all the world
So navigating this hell
Is made possible
