Prosaic Nation

Do you go to sleep and
wake up in the morning?
Yo dude, I got that
I think I need a pill.
When the going gets tough
the tough get medicated.
What happened to dealing with pain,
not masking it by running and
hiding from it?
Don't get me wrong there are those
that need medication, to keep them
from bouncing off the walls.
Yet there are some people that use
pills as an excuese to check out on life
and escape what they don't want to be true.
The United States great super power on one hand
and one of the world's most pill popping countries
on the other.
There is a pill for everything now, not an accident;
if the masses are too doped up to pay attention
to the deed then soon America will have a new owner,
the United States of medicine.
Do you have trouble sleeping at night?
Man you must be an insomniac, take this prescription
to sooth your nightly discomfort.
Whatever happened to warm milk?
Are we to proud to be found counting sheep?
Give exercise a spin I hear it's relaxing, who knew.
We are the fattest nation now; it might be a good 
idea to shed a few stereotypes about the good ole
U.S.A.
