Drug Undertow

Bombarding the bong like oxygen is wrong 
drinking alcohol like you’re a bottomless hole,
The speed the base the MDMA
the pace of life wastes you away
cocaine and ecstasy 
next day looking wrecked to me
Ketamine replaces vitamins 
face changes, unrecognisably 
Why buy more supplies 
When supplies die off 
and you die slow 
Unhappy unless under the influence, 
life caught up in the drug undertow

Potent, stark penning. Excellent.
