The First Moon of Elatia
‘twas the first moon of elatia
before dolore lost her bearing
It wasn’t that her road had turned
it’s just that she stopped caring
her burdening darkened overload
vanished in bright haze
no more, some painful tale of woe
just blurry halcyon days
Bayer, Squibb and Eli Lilly
once courted her with verve
and so also would have Pfizer
but he had lost his nerve.
the dawning of elatia came
with sudden threat to all
for once unburdened by distress
they had no cause to call.
viagara slid, zoloft collapsed
ephedra scant maintained
starbucks soon tried out topless
but baristas weren’t retained.
for no one needed uppers
no one, some capsuled crutch
as dolore fell aswoon in love
with elatia’s healing touch.
twas the first moon of elatia
as this age made final swoon
when we all survived its blood red morn
before her sun arose at noon.
