Doc Knows Best

Prozac is for when your unhappy
Energade for energy
Sleeping tablets for insomnia and
tranquilizers for phobias
Medicated emulsions for messed
up emotions
Pop a pill or two and patch
up the problem
To think it all started with
coughs and cuts
Dissected cadavers stolen by nuts
Self professed professors
contradict in theory
Side effects ending up worse
than the query
So we dabble in chemicals curiously
confident
The doctor knows best for his poorly confidante

But you left out one, the pill for when you are happy. Wait they give you pills and ads to make sure you always know there has to be something wrong with ya. I really enjoyed the flow and meaning behind your words. So many wanting a quick fix and not waiting to take respondability, have someone else fix it for you (referring in this piece the dr) Brava

It's like when little kids believe a thermometer will cure their ailments because they associate it with having a fever.

Very nicely written. You did a great job with the alliteration, and the flow was liquid. I like this.

One small typo - 1st line "your" should be "you're" or "you are"

Cheers!
