Sedative Nation

sedatives!

different names

different colours

different shapes

different sizes

different strengths

different doses,

slow release

fast release

instant paralysis

at 190 degrees, 

sedatives!

I can’t lift my eyelids 

or pick my arse 

off the floor,

I’m too dumbed down

to know what for

sedatives!

cracking the fangs 

of the ego,

chewing on my libido 

leaving me hollow,

wilting, 

snorting 

angel dust

just to get it up,

they fuck with 

my demeanor

force a numb amnesia 

... hell!

I can’t remember,

docile

dazed 

dissection,

unable to get

an erection

and if I do

it’s premature 

ejaculation,

looking around me

I see a sedative nation,

people asleep on their feet

asleep on the buses

exhausted with their

dead-end jobs

sedatives?

do we really need 

more incentives

to never get out of bed?
