Medicated existence in bottles of serin
numbing religion,
ash falls from eyes
Swallowing messiah pills
to find life's meaning
incubating psalms in chemicals
consumed by martyrs
in salvation's soma pills
Author notes
Basically connotes that there is no religion because of science. Whatever, hate me because of my existentialism if you'd like.

PROMPT: _________ Pills
~Fill in the blank, and make a poem inspired by the pill you have created, or came up with. Yes, it can be already existing one.. but come on people.. be creative.. think of something creative.
PS. Don't use Oblivion Pills or Ego Pills. Anything else made up works.
