Drugs Are Bad Things

This is a poem and not a song.
It was written to tell you that drugs are wrong.

We see people on the streets every day.
Exhaling and inhaling their life away.

This is a poem and not a song.
It was written to tell you that drugs are wrong.

Families destroyed lives lost.
Those who take drugs will pay the cost.

This is a poem and not a song.
It was written to tell you that drugs are wrong.

If you take drugs daily you probably won't see.
What or who they they may cause you to be.

This is reality and not a song.
wrote to tell you that drugs are wrong.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi wanted to tell you THAT is excellent. My son who is 25 has an addiction to heroin and I enjoyed reading this. It is very sad that the youth of today has chosen this route. Also sad that where I live, they have plagued it the heroin capital of the world. But your poem was awesome. You really captured it well. And hope that others will see it for what it is. And bring thoughts and emotions to the surface!! Thanks for sharing. Karen
