Without warning
The Hippocratic Oath
transformed into
The oath of the hypocrites
Perpetuating the myth of a better living through psychotropics
Unannounced
Charlatans
Invaded our shores
With drone strikes of misinformation
Magic cures
pharmaceutical fairy tales
Without warning
Storm clouds rained the virus
of depression
Despair spreads with every exhalation
the false prophecy of herd immunity
Perpetuating the myth of a better living through psychotropics
