No

Why I now, "Just say no"



              Light turns to black
        Everything slowly fades away
      Mental faculties no longer react
        Curtain call to life's play
  The key factor in this demise flows through the veins
  Ravaging the body until nothing remains
    Nothing good that needle contained
  Next time may put me six feet under on my back
