Kick the Dope

Peace love and hope
Said brother, kick the dope
I might have relapsed a time or two
But never thought I’d kick the booze
Was love so misguided that I
Sought peace in a semi-permanent
Disillusionment and drunken haze
And hope that there was still
An aspirin on the floor
And beer left for a hangover cure

Hey Cs how are yah? Kick the Dope. Are you talking about someone who's like Dopeyin Snow white and the 7 dwarfs or the drug? Anyway I invite you to read some of my poems, it's good for your soul and bcoz they're mostly about Eternal God. U might want to start with Eternal title and work your way up to the lately or recent. Thanks ~Jac---> so that there's a Jac in girls, short for my real name bcoz my Jackie was a bad girl.
