The medicine ball

THE MEDICINE BALL (E A D G B E)

The medicine ball never made me feel better.

The medicine ball was all for show.

Hard and round, it slaps the ground and the earth shudders.

In my hands, I knew I held a fearful object.

 

The medicine ball never made me feel better.

The medicine ball was all for show.

Crashing down, it hits the ground. Everyone scurries.

I think we’ve been lied to all along.

 

The medicine ball never made me feel better.

The medicine ball was all for show.
