Pill Time by George Hoerneryes, of course
raise the bar
to heights
only those
with wealth
can attain
make minor
changes
to maintain
infringement laws
reduce the age
of poor death
55 sounds
like a good age
for the poor
and lengthen
the age
of wealth
and maybe 105
for the wealthy
there must be
profit in life
and death so
promise a
peaceful passing
with newest
pill but don’t
make it
too expensive
