Poem: Seraquil For Sale

Seraquil is being sold in our streets.
A most powerful anti-psychotic.
Similar to Haldol or Thorazine,
but in pill form.

Walking through the slums
you hear the familiar calls
of the drug dealers:
"Rocks, solids, dimes, Chiba, crack,
tar, heroin, OC's, Vicatin, Valium,
Xanax, Clonopan, Methadone."

Then suddenly:
"Seraquil, one hundred milligrams."
What?
"Seraquil, one hundred milligrams."

And what's worse is, it sells.
What has society come to
when people are turning to
the Street Pushers
for anti-psychotic medication?

We're fucked, man.
Fucked.
