Basted Brain

BASTED BRAIN
                     ........
Your BRAIN is a terrible thing to BASTE !!
                                                
It's NOT a piece of meat to cook and WASTE !!

Would you prepare the most impeccable, delectable 

select cut of meat with ............ 
                   
TOXIC POISONS, UNDETECTABLE  INNOCUOUS INGREDIENTS
BRAIN COOKING, BODY WASTING, MORAL IMPEDMENTS
FAMILY DESTRUCTION, CRIME ERUPTION, NO NORMAL THOUGHT
OR FUNCTION
GET A HIGHER HIGH EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT DIE SEDUCTION 
PARENTLESS CHILDREN ZOOMING, DEATH LOOMING
FUNERAL HOME BUSINESS BOOMING
                      
 How did brain basting evolve to fried, dried and DEAD.......
   ????          ????        ????       ????

ADDICTION IS PROFOUNDLY COMPLEX
ANSWERS PERHAPS MORE PERPLEXING
SOMETIMES USE OF LESS LETHAL POTIONS
JAIL OR PRISON NOT THE SOLUTIONS
CRISIS SITUATIONS
DIRE IMPLICATIONS
EMERGENT IMPLEMENTATIONS
ANSWERS INVESTIGATIONS
AND STILL, MORE OVERDOSES
AND DEATHS
MAJOR PROGRESS WITH NARCAN AVAILABILTY
SAVING THE CARCASSES, AGAIN, RAVAGED FROM HUMAN FRAILITIES
SO OFTEN ALL HOPE IS LOST
DRUGS WON
WE LOST...................
 
BUT...... cannot give up...........!!

You've captured the spirit of St. Valentine perfectly in this...were he a cracked out corner pusher. This is a great poem. I like the playfulness of the words in what ends up being a powerful and (sadly) true and necessary statement. Well done
