The Treatment

The citizens
are declaring independence
while simultaneously
suffering
an epidemic of lethal overdose
diagnosed as
“political poisoning”

where as the politicians
are busy eradicating
amongst themselves, “financial deficiency disorder”
through fresh supply
of tax nourishment

vaccines of national budget
and booster doses of funding

while the citizens succumb to death
in search of medicine.
