Government Issued Recovery

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 but 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
