In Land of Cockaigne

'Cockaine' took another slow snort from magic white crystal dust pleasure inhaled at ease and great vastness for her was a must with 'Cockaigne' the land of physical comfort and luxury near nothing to lose in addiction she had no more demons to fear they called her a **** on cocaine an outcast and street trash but when on the drug of her choice she cherished the bash threw caution to wind as long as it did not disperse the powder when trashed everything became brighter lighter and louder as a kind soul she shared her treasures with Charlie and Mandy freebase for all gak sugar coke and vast mountains of rock candy when she ran out of gear her smashed fellows returned the favour good friendship is a treasure to hold very dear and to savour she ran out of money and companions because they’re all dead sold her body for a few bob to Dick Tom and Harry giving head blew instead of inhaling and soon she took to needle and syringe believed she was happy when she overdosed and went out in a binge 15th November 2020 Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh Theme picked 'Cockaigne' 'Cockaigne' is a mythical land of plenty with comfort luxury and instant gratification. A 'cockaine' is slang for a **** on drugs especially cocaine.
