Substance Abuse the Effects

The streets have become lonely Days have gone quieter Gone are the days when kids would play until dusk With joyful sounds that rejoiced their mothers and fathers Distancing themselves from substance abuse. Our generation is lost Our schools have been abandoned Our homes are desolate Substance abuse rules our nation. We weep for the future is dark and dull Dreams and hopes have been murdered Buried by the blood intoxicated with drugs While veins pulsate with alcohol. Young lives are shuttered Young lives are gone Our generation is lost Our nation perishes Thank you substañce abuse, surely you are proud.
