Ignorance creates an epidemic,
necessarily ... unnecessary.
Provided clinicians maintain secrets
revolving around their own involvement,
anger and resentment persist to hold
ignorance and denial in high esteem;
striking new ground may not solve the problem,
energetic protests seek solutions.
Ordinary people face addiction
for opioid painkillers with no help.
Pain is a beloved monster locked up
against its will in a cave, without light;
insisting on accepting the monster,
not rejecting her because of her gift.
