Array ( [sid] => 118713 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Drugs [time] => 2006-04-20 21:40:25 [hometext] => “Dope never helped anybody sing better or play music better or do anything better. All dope can do for you is kill you - and kill you the long, slow, hard way.” ~Billie Holiday [bodytext] => It started once in chocolate,
It ended up in coke,
It found its way in music pangs,
Like vipers deadly fangs…
This poison spread like fire,
Throughout each state and home,
Now that it’s an epidemic,
To legalize they’re prone.
It started in candy,
Then ended-up in schools;
It spread when they thought the Bible...
"Was not-a-good Golden-rule...!”

It started in the homes,
When kids had nowhere to play;
It took its toll and boomeranged-,
Back on our heads to stay…!
Now it’s in our churches,
For each old aged-gran;
‘Cause Steroids aren’t just for boxers,
It’s for everyone across the land.
It seems the government has the market,
For every cause and lure;
Oh yea, drugs are really big business,
Or they would have found a cure! [comments] => 5 [counter] => 218 [topic] => 66 [informant] => Lilly-Quill [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

It is indeed very true, and those last two lines are the key to this entire poem, and reflects the ugly face of the corrupt system that we live in.
This poem and its content should not be just read and forgotten but please give a close thought to it. Good poem…

Amen to this! Your right, a delighfully penned poem on a touchy situation and a very real one. It used to be that the drugs to only worry about were the street drugs, now its everything and everyone is not safe from them.

You go girl, this is a very open and honest write. Drugs they're everywhere now. The saddest thing is when they get into the wrong hands. Many innocent lives have been lost and will continue to be lost.
Thank you for sharing this eye opener of a write. Penned brilliantly as always. Well done ~*Milly*~
