It's David versus Goliath
in battle with pharmaceuticals
acetylsalicylic acid
nature's soothing analgesic
in chewable willow bark
brew of meadowsweet
ubiquitous, bargain pill
preferable to costly elites
relief from achy anything
with fever-fighting prowess
one-a-day defense
against heart attack and stroke
antidote for insomnia
even cancer prophylactic
efficacious for millenia
with anti-inflammatory magic
all-purpose healing remedy
prescribed by Dr. Hippocrates.
