You Can't Prescribe Happiness
by Robert Cameron HazeltonMisguided policies
Psychobabble fallacies
Mothers little helper
Inherited dependencies
Clinical conclusions
Emotional contusions
An industry unto itself
Purveyors of confusions
Era of empowerment?
Epoch of discouragement!
The wonders of awakening
Replaced by some impediment
Boardroom manipulation
Propaganda saturation
Creating quiet little drones
A numb and pallid generation
