Ruined

To get from A to Zee,
Requires Speed,
That and other trash;
Have whatever you fancy,
It’s Happy Hour,
Ice, Coke, Crack, dope……….
Know what I mean!

Ok admitted - not easy!
People need dough
To get what they crave,
Either you push
The stuff,
Give your body away,
Or you’re Daddy’s little girl.

Get-off me!
I’m not giving anything for free,
Just advice, see!
When the needle hits, 
You’re ready,
THIS IS Rocket Science,
In Person -
You are now flying
At the speed of Light,
And what d’ya know:
Nobody but nobody
Can reach that kinda velocity,
But you can!

You’ve heard of Shangri-La,
Atlantis, El Dorado? I bet……..
You can hit them all
In twenty seconds;
“ Much have I wandered in the realms of gold”
That too,
Without leaving your room!

“ Cold Turkey ? “
Don’t give me that bull!
You wanna hit the stars fast?
Then sometimes you’re gonna have a little crash,
No one got to anywhere without trying….
Huh! 
So?
