The ebb and flow of pharmaceuticals

The Ebb and Flow of Pharmaceuticals

White ravens cawed their best – a blasphemy of tradition.
Sounding all of dissonance, their mark is made in deception.
Where it begins with a
		             tumble
			            down (cavern or cavity)
Manufactured escape, the mettle and sinew of tragedy
And still they
	         tumble
		        down (a white meteor seconds to downtown)
Until they
	    *touch*
		 down (a white explosion to dissolve and drown)

White ravens cawed their worst – a blasphemy of saviors
Blessed with conditional reception, masked miracles for favors
When it all happens with a
			      f l u t t e r
				         up (standard or stream)
Fog of mind trailing their wings, opiate laced to dull the regime
And still they
	         f l u t t e r 
			up (measured by time – they’ll divide the flock)
Until they
	    foul
	          up (measured against time – silence without the shock)

White ravens cawed their last – a tragedy of blasphemy
Gone before forgotten with an absence marked by misery
Where it all ends with a  	 	 	 
	                          tumble
				 back down (highway or mindway)
Return of the sword, truth of situation embodied, must we obey? 
And then I
	     tumble
		    back down (as my design is my deduction)
Until I
         *touch*
   	        back down (as my design is my dysfunction)
