Draft 2

“Generation Rx”

 

This new Generation Rx that we have created; kids popping pills until their sedated.

If your kid is a little sad, give them a pill.

If your kid is a little shy, give them a pill.

If your kid is a little hyperactive, give them a pill.

 

This new Generation Rx that we have created; kids’ popping pills until their sedated;

If your kid can’t finish their schoolwork, give them a pill.

If your kid misbehaves, give them a pill.

If your kid has anxiety taking a test, give them a pill.

Have parents’ lost their way?

Craving a quick fix; a magic bullet in a pill.

 

This new Generation Rx that we have created, kids’ popping pills until their sedated;

Confusion, paranoia, depression, aggression, animosity, violence; what have we started!

School shootings, overdosing, murder-suicides, kids’ hurting kids, kids’ killing kids;

Who’s winning here, neither the kids’ nor the parents’, but the pharmaceutical companies;

Hyper-tension, High-Cholesterol, Seizures,Diabetes, Heart  Failure, and Cancer;

Why do we insist on hurting the health of our children?

Big Pharma rakes in the profits; risking kids’ health for corporate greed;

 

This new Generation Rx that we have created, kids’ popping pills until their sedated;

Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta; why have we created this Ritalin-Nation;

We tell our kids to say no to drugs, we create this illusion of a drug free school zone.

Our doctors, the drug pushers; our kids, the users.

Shame on you FDA for approving these drugs!

Sacrificing our kids’ as human guinea pigs!

Congratulations to you Pfizer, Merck, Eli-Lilly, and Novartis;

For altering the minds of our youth and attacking their souls for your profits.

 

Let us stop this war against children!

This new Generation Rx that we have created.
