Whitish round or yellowy square
dissolving into a shape unclear
Pain, fever or just some solace
packed in a pill or liquid, no less
Bereft of taste and rivaling yet
the invention greatest
An unassuming chemical
Paracetamol/ Acetaminophen
Or shall we just say
a standing testimony
to human folly
to fall for solace
even at the cost
of destroying the innate
to glean some comfort
that doesn't last
par impermanence
of a fever that is
the body's
first line of defence
