Bitter pill

Sometimes truth is a bitter pill.

Many seem to have an aversion to it. Unable to reconcile what they were told to what is actually the truth.

Though it stares them in the face.

Soon, so very soon they will be forced to take it.

The bitter pill of truth.

They were led, lied to, and coerced into taking something that is not safe.

Many have died.

Suddenly.

Athletes and tic toc’ers falling ill. Celebrities and nobody’s of equal measure.

All for profit.

Billions and billions of profit. Oxycontin times a thousand.

The ads are still playing, and people are still dying.

You know it wasn’t because of a hit, but that’s the lie their spinning.

Sponsored by the very ones pushing the shot.

Wakey wakey.
