Dope Aint So Dope Yal

it seems like an epidemic
this thing that alters lives
brothers sisters moms and dads
even husbands and wives 
some are in prison 
others in the grave 
seems the ones left
just don't have the heart to change
constantly seeking it
there's never enough to satisfy
 its just a quarter paper
to an eight ball 
a bowl to get high
everyone is doing it
and anything for it like a fiend
some even selling their bodies 
their kids being raised on the streets
kidnapping and jacking 
kicking in peoples doors
when will you all realize
the life being destroyed is not only yours

Great message poem, Ms. Truth Teller. I really feel your vibe on this one. Keep the love and knowledge flowing. If one soul gets saved by hearing your message, then you've earned your place in heaven. Powerful poetry. Love and peace always.
