You know it’s doing wonders
deep down inside.
So disregard the doubters
and patiently abide.

You feel it acting gently
but where you can’t decide.
A nostrum plugged as progress
so down you let it slide.

Some scoff at your improvement
say truth has been defied.
But lies that cool a fever
are hard to set aside.

So now you’re feeling better
with doctor you’ve complied.
The pill has worked its magic
and that can’t be denied.

So praise the empty capsule
your faith you’ve certified.
It never cured the sickness
just taught it how to hide.
