A Despicable Pusher Speaks

Dream on, don't stop
for your reality is in shatters.
Your life has lost its essence,
There’s no logical fluidity in your actions,
so just dream on, don't stop,
your misery will soon end:
aren't your dreams so luminescence?
 
And just to help you on, my friend
I have just what you might need,
you only have to choose, my dear,
for now, it's only a free deed.
 
See your tears are drying up,
your body's tremors stop.
Would you like some strong valerian?
Sniff my white intoxicating powders,
sleep like a crafty grown-up,
and dream like an uncouth Iberian?
 
I have all your answers, pal.
Soon you'll depend on me.
(Oh how I hate your youth!)
I'll give you dreams galore, scum,
Provided on payment we agree.

An interesting poem Victor, I guess its indicative of what is happening these days. You provided an in-depth view of the unseemly side of life. Well done.

Hello Victor. Very powerful and very true to life. The reality is this is true. May all be strong and may all governments do better in fighting all of this but we know they're not. This was well thought out Victor. Have a wonderful peaceful day. Love and Blessings now and always. (smile)

It just seems that our government could stop the drug flow. It would take time and money. There are so many people with money and acclaim who use drugs recreationally. They wouldn't want their supply stopped. It was a good subject for your poem, Victor. You did good!

The evil pushers speak to the youth on the streets leading them astray, they’re in it for the money and couldn’t care less about the abuse drugs to a young healthy body. Well said Victor… Belle

Sad that some people live on the horrors of life that others experience and only make their life a living hell. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my pages. Sara

The pusher, be the devil! First get the youth hooked, then present shame…all while making them pay the high price. A special place in hell for the pushers. Great write, my friend!

Pushers who destroy lives should be put away for life, the law is too soft in them. Tom

Sadly many falling victim to this, hopeless , confusion, division, hatred, seeking anything for relief to ease the tortured soul, darkness is at work to keep many stumbling in confusion

They are the vultures of society, ruining lives for profit. Kudos for highlighting this evil among us, Victor.

Victor your poem is deep, metaphorical, and well-composed. It involves reality. This topic seems to be open to interpretation and conveys the feeling that it really embodies the viewpoints of drug consumers.
