Heroin Pills - A poem

If the devil were a person he would surely be Michael Friedman
If you were shot on the corner He’d walk by and let you bleed man,

For this man is the CEO of what’s known as Purdue Pharma
They manufacture drugs of which create only bad Karma,

Like Oxycodone, Oxycontin and their newest Remoxy,
Their sales girls in n out of doctor’s offices acting real foxy,

The design of these drugs were to treat people with painful diseases,
They’re now being used for people with coughs and some sneezes,

The problem with these pills is that there very addictive,
Many a people are dead now from them and their parents vindictive,

Many will say that “it’s just the addictive type that gets hooked on them”,
I say we give all of those people 100mgs a day and then take em off them

Because I will tell you now friend and I’ll tell you again
You would never again hear those uttered words from them,

So can you see what this means now as I think that it’s real sad,
The drug dealers today have a ton of PHD’s and a prescription pad,

And to top it all off they have us all saying the term “pain killer”
That’s like saying “little house on the prairie” is a psychological thriller,

So please take a closer look at this national epidemic,
If you don’t believe me ask a policeman or paramedic,

Cocaine and some of the other illicit type drugs
Are no longer being used by businessmen and thugs

It’s the drugs in your medicine cabinet that are responsible for the kills,
It’s not much of anything nowadays other than these damn heroin pills.
