Pills

There lived a man in Shady Hills, sits home all day, popping pills. Morning, noon and night, not any real food in sight. Drinks water from the tap, too wired to take a nap. Percocets all damn day, Vicodin is the only way. Xanax in the night time, Valium he buys for a dime. Oxycontin, he keeps hidden, his hiding spot is forbidden. Takes Abilify for his mood swings, taking Amphetamines gives him wings. More skinny than a rail, in life he sure did fail. Ecstasy, he keeps under lock and key, he doesn't give away any pills for free. At thirty he ended up with cirrhosis of the liver, he didn't care about his new founded quiver. Popped pills til his death, at least he never smoked meth. Died at the age of thirty two, in his stomach was pill stew. Just another sad lost soul, popping pills will someday take a toll.
