Label said, Lucky Seven,
a soothing miracle
drink.  Comes in all
colors.  This must be
the elixir her missionary
guide had recommended.
Hidden in this bottle
were seven powerful
herbs that were touted
to force out grief.
Desperate, she wished
to believe in miracles.
So overpowering was her
sorrow, she felt imprisoned
in it.  With trepidation,
she bought a bottle.  Drank
it.  Scammed again.  She woke
and found herself in the same
cage she had created.
