Smack Crack Pop a Vein

drug addicts no shame 
                 any excuse once it’s lame 
                  in court   last fix claimed
             back out burgling  on the game 
                    society accepts blame

Tom Cunningham Date: 1/25/2022 10:25:00 AM We all make choices in life they make theirs and they cause so much heartache to others invading their properties looking for anything they can sell on. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/25/2022 10:35:00 AM Absolutely Tom, I’m all for second chances but these druggies are at it day in day out, it seems society cannot do enough for them over here anyway, best solicitors are provided for them too, all on the house, it’s gone beyond a joke, it’s an insult, cheers David

L Milton Hankins Date: 1/25/2022 9:40:00 AM Wow, there's so much to think about in this verse, David. Hmmm...I don't mean to open a can of worms, but I think the addict is responsible for choosing to go that route. I certainly didn't prompt them to do it! Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 1/25/2022 12:33:00 PM These people will tell us anything we want to hear, lying is their language, they wreck their own families, and they certainly don’t trust each other, so many of them get second chances and refuse to take them, but will still blame society for all their actions L Milton Hankins Date: 1/25/2022 11:43:00 AM Yes, David, I have seen it all too often. I believe people choose the kind of life they want to live. We all make those choices earlier in life. You or I could have chosen that route, but we decided on a different path. I'm not going to feel guilty because I am less than sympathetic with those who choose the wrong path and want to blame others for it. That's my truth, and I'm sticking to it! David Kavanagh Date: 1/25/2022 9:49:00 AM I too Milton see it as a lifestyle choice I’m sick and tired of people being burgled and preyed on by these recidivist junkies, when caught eventually they go to court and are put on various drug programs society makes it so easy for them even if they go to prison they get substitute drugs and come back to walk the streets primed to carry on where they left off, cheers David
