Are Drugs Good Or Bad

Drugs have no reason,
no souls, no conscience. Their
compound ingredients innocently
get into human hands from trees,
weeds, roots...only later to be joined
together like Frankenstein's body parts.
It is us humans who determine
whether we want to create crack,
sleeping pills, heroine, Actal,
Panadol....
Let's stop blaming the innocent drugs,
and instead blame ourselves for the drugs
we come up with....
