We & Mr. "P"

We and Mr. Prednisone - we're holding hands
He's only in our lives - due to physical demands
This LOVE/HATE affair - it is like NO other
Reaching for that bottle - we say worse than - Oh Brother !

This hellacious disease goes on the attack
Then it's hit the ol' "P" drug - to give it a smack
Alternatives? there are few - times we have to surrender
Up the dose? Oh My! Lovely! Another Prednisone bender!!

The wishing to fight with just strong mental power
Our tears of defeat - wash away in the shower
Damn this disease - it doesn't follow ANY rules
Please... convince us it's being studied in medical schools!

Disease symptoms - drug side effects - some choice!
Let the pharmaceutical companies give US a voice
We search to gain knowledge - with great frustration
If Mr. "P" - *?*?*?* - allows us the concentration

With vengeance - SARC patients - do fight back
Many trying several drugs - to cut us some slack
We put people in space - they can walk on the moon
Let us hope for the - ULTIMATE - Sarcoidosis drug soon!
