"Pills"

There are pills for every ailment
There are pills for every pain,
Some MDs give impalements
In your backside where you`ve lain.

The white pills are for when you sneeze
The pink one`s when you cough,
Two green and yellows when you wheeze
To think that that`s enough.

And then there`s pills for ailments pills
To ease the side effects,
Through spills and swills and freezing chills
They turn our nerves to wrecks.

Purple pills to help enhance
With names that have few vowels,
Risk making love to the advance
May loosen up the bowels.

Pills for heartburn pills for gas
We get the planned idea,
To cease the pain inside the brain
We trade for diarrhea.

It matters not the symptoms
It matters not the ills,
There`s always new prescriptions
To take with other pills.

I love the humor at play here and the playful tone you use. You're right: far too much medicine causes pains that go beyond those it was meant to remedy. I suppose the idea that we've got a "pill" for this or that ailment reassures us, but instead we should be wondering what our next ailment will be. Lovely poem.

Dear Dawn,

A playful take on a very serious subject. Most pills would simply not be needed (if indeed they actually are) if we had far less sugar, and esp nowadays Aspartame, which turns into a poison once heated up in the body !

Dear Forestdawn,

This was a pleasure to read. Very light-hearted twist on a complicated matter. Additionally, to think of writing about "Pills" was very creative. I thought of the "Blue Pill" "Viagra" when I read this, lol. Thank you for sharing!
