He travels

With promises

No more cancer or disease

He gives medication

With broken reassurances

He says you will get better

My heart bleeds as I don’t

The traveling medicine man

They say

They whisper

They talk

They can find him in ally’s

Under bridges

Places not just anybody goes

Secret places

If these pills make you better

If he is as real as he says

Then why is it as secret

As the moon in the daylight

The traveling medicine man is a hoax

But I still take his pills
