It’s just a little pill
that they say will fix your nerves;
An antipsychotic
– which will normalize your aim.
“We need you to fit in
and we need you to be tame.”
So take it every day
while the casuist observes.
They don’t have any proof
but it probably won’t hurt.
Just trust they know what’s best
– you’ll get used to side effects.
This simple, latest guess
– that can’t promise it won’t vex –
Is just a no-think shot
to help put you in the dirt.
