The Fight For Life

Their community was ADDICTED for many decades.
Many were SLAIN as a result of it directly or indirectly.
Positive people worked hard in VAIN to curtail the
      damage done 
It was as if this disease was alive and DESTINED to
      destroy everyone and everything.
Where would anyone get the strength to ABSTAIN?
How could they fight for their life back, DRAINED
      of energy?
It was so powerfully distributed, despite the WOES
      if caught, some thought DEMONS orchastrsted
      it.
But the desire to live is greater, so the fight continues
