I Often Wondered Why People Do Drugs

Drugs mask feelings and cloud ones mind So many drugs out there in this day and time Reality isn't possible for one to alter But you can very much alter a human mind Drugs come in all quantities, or choice of many kinds Deep inside you feel a void You suddenly try filling it with a drug And before long your to far gone to realize Your very own grave you have probably dug. There so many who sell drugs on the streets Drugs sold from house to house, at schools in the halls Kids even sell for parents, in shopping malls Life is so different from what it use to be There was a time we had morals we all lived by And we didn't really have reason to fear But just like respect, love, and dignity It seems to have all just disappeared I often wonder, could I have helped Could I have maybe turned even one against drugs If just once I had listened to how one felt Or reached out and took them by the hand Or by letting them know they are loved with a simple little hug.
