The Progress of the medical field 

             Has led to miracle medicines or Horrors that harmed others

                                                                The Anguish that has been dished out through heinous experiments

                              Brings about the most Ridiculous ideas in human history                     

                                                         But the Mysteries that have been brought to light have been worth it, right?

                                    The treatments for Asthma, tuberculosis, tetanus, and other conditions are widespread

                                                                But Clinics and dealers that give out pills like candy are just as common

                                 The drug abuse that lEads to higher death rates

                                                            The thUgs that push and utilize the paraphernalia on our streets

                                       The drug wars thaT bring nothing but depression and death

                                                             The thIeves that steal oxycodone from hospitals

                                                               The Carnage from S.W.A.T teams busting down doors

                                                             The pAuperization of the people from addiction

                                                         The negLected kids in the slums that drugs have an iron hand over

                                                     The sorry Souls of family and friends standing around a grave of a teenage kid
