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
