Mike Hauser Poet Light Verse

Somethings I Wish I'D Never Seen

I've seen them come
I've seen them go
I've seen the needle
Take another soul
I've seen the vacuum 
I've seen the hole
I've seen things
I'd rather not know

I've seen them beg
I've seen them cry
I've seen them lose 
I've seen them die
I've seen broken mothers
Wonder why
I've seen it all 
Through tear-filled eyes

I've seen the needle
I've seen the cost
I've seen it all
Through thickened walls
I've seen men when
They take the fall
Get up again
Then do more

I've seen them do
Without a doubt
I've seen them cut 
Their clientele 
Treat them worse 
Then they would a dog
Send them to hell
With Fentanyl 

I've seen them come
I've seen them go
I've seen them beg 
For another dose
And when there's nothing
Left to own
I've seen them die
All alone

Sara Kendrick November 11, 2018 at 6:08 AM Sad..If there were no access to the illegal stuff and some prescriptions then what would those do who wanted that side of life? Would they find a decent job and go on with life or would there be something else there for which they could get addicted ? Sara It is impossible for a person to fill a hole in their soul for only God can do that. Mike Hauser November 11, 2018 at 6:58 AM That last line says it all... This world is in desperate need of Jesus
