Pain Killers Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There are more today taking pain killers,
To numb their aches away.
And today more take pain killers,
To reduce their facing of truth produced...
With a hope their delusions are given a boost.
And no one wants to admit their craze,
Is rampant and uncaged.

Pain killers are used as fillers...
To excuse the getting at the root,
Of what their lives have introduced.

People can't face their own creations.
They rather take a pain killer.
People can't face what they've implemented.
They rather take a pain killer.
They could have stopped to prevent,
What now has their minds bent...
Without considering intervention.
