Rip my friend I am going to miss you so much - you were one of a kind.
"Addiction"
A poem about the drug epidemic
Addiction:
New disciples
You're always welcome,
Erase emotions
Like you never felt them.
Addiction:
All religions and creeds,
Any shade of skin,
Whether your six hundred pounds,
Or tiny, frail and thin.
Addiction:
Everyone's friend,
The equal-opportunity affliction,
Accepting all candidates,
Misdemeanor or felony convictions.
Addiction:
Open arms to the loser,
Open arms to Joe Cool,
Elite intelligence,
Gets played as the fool.
Addiction:
Will never care
In what town you were born,
It kills your friend,
Then helps you mourn.
Addiction:
A rapid false end,
To your problems and pain,
You'll succumb to the heat
Of its eternal flame.
Addiction:
Urban or rural,
You cannot hide,
Farmer, Lawyer, Cop,
Stripped of your pride.
Addiction:
Heartily feeding on the lonely
And misdirected,
Sullenly sneaking up,
When you least expect it.
Addiction:
On call 24 hours,
Covering every time zone,
Intact families beware,
It’s breaking homes.
Addiction:
Turning peaceful families
To civil war,
Even the pimp,
Will become the whore.
Addiction:
Writing checks,
Your dignity can’t cash,
Incoherent kids,
Selling their ass.
Addiction:
A façade of fake friends,
It becomes sublime,
Your family, your kids,
Fade to second in line.
Addiction:
Lifelong companions,
Become total strangers,
The loss of perception,
Enhances life’s dangers.
Addiction:
A devil perched,
On either shoulder,
Your angel’s crushed,
By his fiery boulder.
Addiction:
A baffling, cunning,
Insidious disease,
I battled the beast,
From my begging knees,
Yes, I, too, suffer,
So help me, please,
Someone, something,
Help,
Keep me strong,
Through my addiction.
