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

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.

That last line says it all... This world is in desperate need of Jesus
