Drugs

A world of drugs on every street,luring our
kids just to take one hit.

To the seller it don't matter if they're
young or old,as long they have a dollar in
their pocket to spend on their dope.
 
Watching the news,it's plain to see
stealing,killing,and suicide is about all you
see,and I think drugs has a lot to do with this.

Because of drugs,many lives have been
changed some walking around don't even 
remember their own name.

Yes its sad to see that our lives have come to this, no morrals no shame , no one takes the blame.Our kids are dieing in gutters or crack houses while the pushers are free to roam. Where is the justice in that ? good write.

Yes, I don't understand how drugs have taken over some of our youth and loved ones. May we find an answer soon. Thank you for your comments on my posting. Love, Joyce

Marie I still say the dealers and pushers should be locked up and the key thrown away, and the ones that produce it should be put to death, maybe then we can help those that are addicted. God Bless, Ron
