Pharmaceutical God

You're the latest in a series of pharmaceutical Gods,

here to save my soul.

But here I stand,

water in hand,

staring you down.

I'll digest you just like the rest

and hope this time,

dear God,

this time you do your job.

this is good, i especially like the term pharmaceutical god, even though I cannot spell it without spell check. I think this poem is pretty solid. It could be longer sure, and you could go into the other drugs and specifically what this one is for and it might be a cool revision exercise but you don't have to because it works now. The way it reads I don't think you need the "but" in the third line and at the end what I really wanted was instead of hoping for the speaker to demand the pill to work. Like "But this time you do your goddamn job" or something to that extent. But just a suggestion and I really enjoyed this, good work.
