Here it is! I am really psyched about it- I worked really hard.
It was a crazy experience writing this!
Any corrections that need to be made?
Any advice or comments?
We had to write about an object in 13 different points of view- so I chose the good old orange pill bottle! 
At first each stanza is off different pills it has held, I only used ones that have actually been prescribed to me.
Then it goes deeper into the mind, philosophy, and meaning of the pharmaceutical drugs, the bottle, humans, the earth, the plant spirit drugs, the universe, mental illness, war, love and peace.
Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy The Orange Plastic Bottle:
1
Orange, smooth, plastic bottle
Titian and blue pills bitter sweet
enough to throttle
A heart to it’s feet
Happy
Enlightened
Excited
Dopamine
Serotonin
Norepinephrine
You are just an organic computer
Is that all?
2
Orange, smooth, plastic container
White circle and yellow, pointed oblong
Makes the human mind a bit tamer
The doors of perception held down strong
Takes the Gaia
The average Joe
You should cry
You no longer need to go slow
Car hustle down the street
Only go through once
Go in then, get it out, move your feet
What an ironic touch?
3
Orange solider in the war
For bad medicine, no plants- no more
Quiet minds, making cash
Shiva and Shiva clash
Big boys- the tiny red pill
Let’s that away that free will
He likes to hit all twelve
But she would just let love delve
Kerouac
Einstein
Barrett
Nash
Poe
Plath
Hemingway
Blake
Newton
Van Gogh
Beethoven
Whitman
Proust
Porter
Sexton
Mahler
Berryman
Woolf
Hesse
Rothko
Twain
Mingus
Williams
Keefe
McKenna
Serafini
Leary
Ginsberg
Dass
Escher
Gautama
Good thing you aren’t alive today
4
Long slim fiasco, orange and sleek
Relaxing, fun, numbing peak
Bitter, big, fat oblong gift
Comfortably numb ridding of the nerves swift
Like a dumb child who has learned too much
A happy, ignorant bunch
A newborn feeding on the mothers synapses
A cellular intelligence your consciousness cannot not have passes
Sweating as your mind goes by
Your boundaries burn but fry
5
The orange bottle seems quite vicious now
The puppet masters take their bows
Sluggish, greedy, unaware
That they are puppets to a greater fair
They are the men that take you in
Give you what you need so you can swim
In the ocean that is their domain
Not enough to be pleased but enough not to question
6
The orange bottle weeps in it’s existence
The plant spirits diminished in distance
Though the love travels unbound
And nothing in the universe can bring it down
The orange bottle can fool you to see something else
Not the orange bottle itself but what’s inside
And what it’s inhabitants try to hide
Love the orange bottle and love the hate
It’s all you can do beside choose for yourself and wait
7
People on the ceiling
Feel the orange bottle’s displease
Where is the feeling
Where is the what is ease?
8
A trip to heaven
To hell
To oblivion
None exist
Except within
Something is out there
I due suppose
But nothing that we in this state can know
Not with the orange bottle in our troughs
9
Orange bottle
Would you be here today
If in the Amazon jungles they did stay
Would you masticate their brains
If the vine made insane sane?
10
If they went down in Oaxaca
Would the doors still need locking?
Orange bottle
I do proclaim
That you’re the one who is blissfully insane
11
Orange Solider
Would you still march in war
If peace and love were forever more
Would you still fire your oblong bullets
If we saw the universal energy that ran though us
12
Slim Orange Friend
Would your numbing joy be craved
If all our souls were saved?
By plants, deities, friend and foes
All sang together in a beautiful mellow
13
Orange, smooth, plastic bottle
I will see you for a few more whiles
But one day if our minds unbind
I hope that we will both find
