Legalized Pusher

by Robert   May 8, 2007


With a white coat on, I start a new day for the needing mass,
a stale environment is where I work mostly behind thick glass.
Oceans of medication that the companies will proclaim to hinder pain,
but as I watch as they follow in suite I wonder if its all in vain.
Years of facts about terminology most people will never know,
of a need for the quick fix of relief that is always in grow.
The elderly become as the junky to fixed on the meads to see anything new,
for in the end most of all our doctors want the same for me and you.
A pill will heal that or give you the ability to rest,
if you can�t afford it we will tell you its all facts in a new more expensive test.
Forget the herbs or what is grown in the soil to make us well,
for they can�t be marketed in the mass to sell.
We went to school to learn the art to push another pill on you,
and don�t ask silly questions because we know what is true.
Legalized pusher with no remorse of what human mistakes could be made,
why should I care for anyone as long as I get paid.
With my power the responsibility is really never in my hand,
it is the Big Pharmaceutical Company that rules this drug infested land.

    Hm. Again, not your best, but I liked the story behind it and the flow was very good.
    You're a very strong writer.

    Well, first of all, those symbloy really bug me.
    Other than that, you are so right. Society is depending on man-made objects instead of those which God gave us. Kinda seems like we think ourselves to be better than Him and not in His true cures. 5/5

    No offense to you, of course.
    But...
    You should proofread your work.
    And you'd find weird symbols in there.
    At the very beginning,
    Like I've said to some of your work before.
    I found it really, really overwhelming.
    When I saw it, I was like.
    "Oh darn,"
    Thinking: I don't want to read this whole thing.
    Try to make your poems short and precise.
    With emotions and all.
    Other than that.
    I guess it's "okay"
    I didn't really understand it, though.
    Help me understand?
    Is it about doctors and them giving prescriptions?
    If yes, how is that a bad thing, then?

    A sample of what I think it would look like
    If it wasn't soo overwhelming.

    First get rid of those symbol things
    I enjoyed the imagery a lot
    It was right on and pefect for this poem
    Again I think you should break it up into stanzas
    it just would be a lot easier to read
    don't have to
    but it's a suggestion
    Great poem once again
    5/5
