"What happened to the pills on my nightstand?"
They ask.
The always notice
but never realize.
Don't you see,
maybe that's the problem.
Pay attention.
Look closely but
don't look too close.
The closer you are,
the less you see.
So pay attention.
Find the signs.
Don't be naive.
They're there alright.
Always have been,
always will be.
Look at the big picture
and you'll see that
everything is strung together
like a few faulty links
on a chain.
Soon enough,
there won't be anything to do but
break.

"What happened to the pills on my nightstand?"
They ask.
Pay attention
or one day,
a doctor might show you the signs
but the cemetery will tell you everyday that it's
oh
too
late.
