** A Pill For Every Ill ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA

** A Pill For Every Ill **

Rating: 4.1


He gullibly ate the fake food
Thinking that its quality was good.

Labeled with a bogus hologram
Food’s packing too was sham.

Taking that food he took ill
And was unable to move at will.

Then he was prescribed fake drug
By the doctor who was a thug.

In spite of that he was healed,
Coz his faith in food, doctor and pill

In some witty lines and interesting verse, the author is trying to convey, I think that well being and health may be aquired without the illusive pill. Good write with interesting twist to it as well.
