Something rotten in the Emerald Nation

Can’t lock in without my pills

Can’t write when I take them

So I suffer the ills

Slings, arrows, painmaking castables

Fortunes, fates, wheels, punishers, oubliettes in castles

Reckoners, saviours, illusion painters, and fablists

Surges of urgent hate

Painstaking lengths to mention the race

Neither unguent nor salve pain sating

Something rotten in the Emerald Nation.
