Elegy To An Addict 1
ELEGY TO AN ADDICT
To love a pill,
is this life today?
Popping up happiness,
downing it away.
God in a needle,
lift yourself higher.
Killing the seed
of sexual desires.
Dear, Mary Jane,
where have you been?
Couldn't fine ya,
now, I'm stuck on heroin.
How in the hell
did I get in this fix?
Heroin for breakfast,
heroin for kicks.
All the pills
have drifted away.
The needle's more
of my life today.
