Crystal Death 2k11

Addiction,  
reality,  
non-fiction.  
All is dark,  
out of the shadows,  
eyes of a  
Great White shark;  
Blank stares  
beyond glass windows.  

Syringes,  
false smiles,  
glass vials.  
Void laughs harkend  
therein the  
presence of death;  
'Crystal Death'!  
Intoxicating moments  
illy starkened.  

Much dysfunction,  
such malfunction  
thereof mortal robots.  
Of flesh  
and of mind --  
so rots  
mortal robots.  
A touch of  
self-destruction!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/13/2011 9:02:00 AM Police in Florida say crystal meth is the rage with young people now because they can purchase products to "cook" it legally. The disfunction and self-destruction of the drug is described vividly in your poem, Anthony. Some say it's as dangerous as heroin. Very powerful write! Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply
