Ode To Drugs

Ode to Drugs
People are you there? Tell ‘em to care!
Beggars and thieves covered by night
Did you do it for spite?
Crack head crying on the corner, run to the church run
Are you spun?
Cocaine man, does it sting? Does the weed make your cough sing?
Feel the bite, hold the smoke tight
Hail to the king, give him your life
Get your pills, just over the hill
Another pipe ride to the sky
Pray, Pain, Pride
Heroine high,  run it dry
Alcohol lies, a crowd dies
Fight ye conscious, Fight right
Crawl out from the dark side
Meth head running by, witness many births of light?
Scream for sight
Gather up the kids, call your wife
Look down, beneath, and behind
Purple storm, glowing acid flight 
A silent kite drifts light
To the gone, treat and trick
Is your numbness now complete?
Remember the pain, mistress deep
Look at the sand, remember the land
Let go, don’t hold a stormy oceans hand.
