Pill Lobotomy


Create the drug

test some specimens

find out what it does

create a disease to target

who you please

peddlers push it

pedophiles with Ph.D.’s

MD’s sufferers

of Munchausen by proxy disease

he can’t pay attention

she won’t sit down

they won’t be quiet

did I mention…

he’s 5

she’s 8

THEY'RE JUST KIDS!

Ritalin, Dexedrine, Adderall

pop em all, pop em all

and forget the side effects

no hunger, no sleep

sterility, headache

stomach ache

they don’t play

no emotion- changeless face

 

don’t try Jesus

don’t try Allah

don’t try love

or attention

or discipline

don’t read a damn parenting book!...

just place the drugs

into their 4 inch hands

give them shots of water

like liquor so it sits on the liver

Cirrhosis of the soul

6 year old ghouls

drugs are to tools used

to pad the pockets

of these pediatric punks

lining wallets

so they can lay up in linen at luau’s in Hawaii

Living it up!

 

Parent’s don’t mind…

the kid is silent…

the kid is silent.
