Measure of control

Narcotics
Legal
Or otherwise acquired
A plague
Too widespread
Running too deep
To not have been
Condoned
Designed
To be
A measure of control
Giving the herd the rope
To hang itself
Thinning out the
Weak
Rebels
Pariahs
Through government-assisted
Euthanasia

Open your eyes

They’ll make you meek
Or make you dead
Either way
You will speak out
No more
