Analysis of Sugar Pill
The influence of suggestion
is that of a hypnotic
The power of the sugar pill is that of a narcotic
The certainty of conviction
is a prime priority
The power of the sugar pill is a good authority
The make up of restoration
is a panacean goal
The power of the sugar pill is a vitally fit soul
The thought of imagination
is a placebo effect
The power of the sugar pill is regularly direct
The product of expectation
is boldly chimerical
The power of the sugar pill is frankly a miracle
