First Part of Drug Warning For Your Kids

I am a differeent incarnation of a poet who garnered a lot of praise for writing a poem on a subject matter a lot people thought of consequence, as do I. So if you took my advice and showed my other poem to your children, cool, and now let them read about how to do what brought six of my friends down in eight years…..I’m telling you dudes the s**t is deadly…..so Little Johnnie or Tommy: THINK ABOUT THE POOR MINK Those are the breaks For making mistakes That’s how it goes When weeds slay a rose Look you all because I’ve got something you probably don’t care to hear But I have vehement verbiage I want to voice I want to tell you people that I’ve been places that scare even Satan Imagine that, The father of fear Making hs own fear clear I’ve used items you all think are totally benign A baby’s pacifier, an eye dropper, a medical needle , and a thin strip of paper from money If anyone had any dollar bills left …………because the end of the eyedropper is a bit too thin to hold the needle without what we called a “collar” It was more like a noose That which we called a “collar” made to bring us relief Oh, and this I never knew back then, but a lot of shirts come with cotton on the back of a button. So if we didn’t have cotton to filter out the particles that may clog your needle we’d use the back of a button, a cigarette filter or invent something with junkie ingenuity. And then you need a hairpin and a bottle top from a soda And you use the hairpin as a handle for the little frying pan you cook the dope up in I’ve seen people shooting dope in bodily areas you may not believe Because either he or she had no viable veins they could find So they shoot it in incredible places such as under their eyeball Between their toes All in an effort to make certain nobody knows The genital area is excellent but mostly for a dude Chicks don’t have as many places, and much thinner veins

I'm not so sure your statement is true about not being interested in anything I write about. Try reading Liquid Handcuffs and Filthy Milk.
