Pharmaceuticals

  • Ingest some caffeine to wake yourself up
  • Take some acetaminophen for your pain
  • Drink some hydroxide groups to cool off 
  • Rub on some rogaine to regain your mane   
  • When the pollen excites alleges loratadine awaits 
  • Dramamine prevents sickness from extended motion 
  • Find your foregone focus by the power of vyvaines
  • And diphenhydramine will help release melatonin 
  • Mestranol will prevent an unplanned pregnancy 
  • Omega-3 fish oil will preserve your good vision 
  • Correct your breathing with the assistance of albuterol 
  • And Scrub your teeth twice daily with some fluorine
  • Inhale your favorite flavor of nicotine to calm down 
  • Protein bars and powders assist in the building of muscle 
  • Mix some creatinine into your drink to jumpstart your drive 
  • Choose your blend of ions to fill the electrolyte stockpile  
  • Viagra will back you up when reproductive systems fall short 
  • Alter your hormones with estrogen and testosterone 
  • Drop minuscule amounts of hydrochloric acid into your eye 
  • Venlafaxine inspires silver lining when you feel too far gone 
  • Strengthen your bones with calcium enriched lactose 
  • Bombard your skin with ultraviolet radiation for a tan 
  • Substitute natural sucrose  with artificial aspartame 
  • And add umami to each genetically modified organism 
  • We treat our bodies like they are a chemical cesspool 
  • Trying desperately to alter our natural state of being 
  • Until we gain a tolerance to one drug and switch to another 
  • Now most of us can't live a day without taking something
