Government Issued Recovery
It’s easy enough to say to get a grip
but you don’t know what it’s like to slip
after three months or after six
of keeping up my act
when the world around me starts to collapse
and I know that I’m grown
and I know I have to control how I react
but it doesn’t make a difference from the front to the back
or if I’m at the bottom this
kinda thing is considered common
and as long as we follow the lawmen
we aren’t considered a problem till you look at statistics
and suddenly life doesn’t look so optimistic
but the government is so monopolistic
we will never be able to rid this world of government issued recovery
take all these drugs we say you need and feel all bubbly
till you feel good and cuddly but the next day you feel ugly
so take another three
or four until you cease to feel
dunno the difference between what is real and what’s designed to make you kneel
Maybe the fundament of governance
is enough coverage
to further the discovering
of new treatments for your illness
but is it enough to stop the suffering
of the victims
as it’s mostly seen in those with low incomes
regularly picking up their prescriptions
for the aforementioned symptoms
and I don’t think back when there was Egyptians
when they were hammering inscriptions that
they had to worry about monthly subscriptions
and figuring out how to work the system
Where every third person has to cover up their courage
because the way that they recover wasn’t with a controlled substance
and they call it abuse if they only knew what you go through to get rid of the blues
and what do they do recommend a zoloft or two
but side effects
include an increase in nervousness
which brings you full circle to the reason for your unrest
and life continues even though your purposeless
Cruel is the criminal that can’t be caught
unjust is the law that can be bought
what does that say about our leaders
and the ones supposed to be our healers
when we have to rely on the dealers
to provide the correct drugs sought
see we’re allowed to know a little bit not a lot
start asking too much they’ll take a crack shot
start calling you a crack pot
and refer to your incessant need for reefer
as the reason for you being a believer
when it’s just a stress reliever
yet the drugs they want you on have a positive review on giving you a better view and perspective
with a legally administered pill you can be connected
to the matrix and
continue your objective regardless
of your selective profession
Valium has shown to be effective
and it don’t gotta be perfect yet
it has to get them out of bed
and inside the outside of their head
