One tablet a day

To drown out the fury of revolt

To cool the inferno

To mend the shattered calm

–

The remedy lands

Blasting upon impact

Rising and  blossoming

As a noxious cloud

–

“All clear” rings out

From lonely corners of the psyche

And desolation sweeps

Over an anguished body

–

One tablet a day

To raze the inner world to dust

To quell the revolt

Its wild colors and passions
