Nostrum … Tired

Today’s word is “nostrum” … pet scheme or remedy, especially for social or political ills; panacea. (Dictionary.com)

Tired
If we only had a nostrum,
To cure the world of all its ills,
If the plan was oh so simple,
Who would not quickly take that pill?

But, things are not plain or simple,
With plans wrapped with frills and bows,
How we escape this common madness,
Is something only our God knows.
