The Heroin Epidemic
It began with a hit
Problems were solved
Then you couldn't get lit
And addiction evolved

Your body craved more
The smoke couldn't handle
Now covered in sores
Too common a scandal  

You recall the time
Needles were bad
But now, every nine
They soften your sad

Mascara smothers 
droopy eyes
Whispers from others
Ignite your cries...

Deadly Epidemic
There seems to be an epidemic spreading more and more each day
Although it's not contagious people are dying anyway
It's not heart disease or cancer, Alzheimers or even dope
This disease is caused from thinking there is no hope
The thing I am referring to causes one to...

Relationship Epidemic (Females)
I'm now in the 3rd chapter of the Relationship Epidemic as I focus on the role of the female
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, so my girl is my seashell
Since before time, women were loyal before a man is
The backbone of a...

A National Epidemic
A NATIONAL EPIDEMIC

If you saw those lusty nasty faces, you see it engraved in their hearts,
Even those trusted public officers, no longer bother to weed the vice,
They plant the evil, water it in every season, they have become infectious,
It has become contagious, even to the...

Epidemic
Always embarrassed, a little careless
My head was empty and quite hairless
I never really knew how to fit in
People would always be staring
Calling out rude names and daring
Me to try and show them some skin

But I hid under my hat and 
Always carried round a bat
In...

Epidemic
You come like a thief in the night
Unwelcome and Unbidden 
You come unknown
Mysterious like the dark side of the moon
You have not revealed yourself to us

Your stay is disheartening
Your ripple effect causes a pandemonium world wide
You could have chosen to be a friendly visitor
But rather...

Relationship Epidemic (Outlook)
As I pick up where I left off from the Intro
I bring you the Outlook as I peer through relationships like a window
The chance of seeing real love is narrow
It seems Cupid doesn't know where to aim his arrow
Cupid my Cupid 
How could you be...

Premium Member Epidemic of Peace
Do you know what you’re inspiring? 
Awakening a dormant soul,
to witness this is so exhilarating;

Epidemic of peace transpiring 
built stronger by a single goal;
Do you know what you’re inspiring? 

A new world just starts opening 
with the collapse of a stone wall;
To witness this is...

The Lover of Fair Elaine Ballad Based On Flue Epidemic of 1917
THE FAIR ELAINE
 
My mother had an uncle, Hayes,
Who loved the banker's child
Hayes was just a dray man
It made the banker wild

When Hayes proposed to fair Elaine
He asked for her sweet hand
Her father said that he’d agree
If Hayes could buy some land.

So off Hayes went
To...

Corona and Social Distancing
There sneaked a micro organism into the lives of human kind from elsewhere,
Who made it intruded is still a mystery, yet it’s fate of the world
That life on earth is engulfed with thorns and bruises?
They say: It’s from bats, some say: it’s a shoot of...

What If
What if..

What if; it wasn't a lockdown forenoon 
Mommies whisking to kitchenette 
Daddy's out with newspaper headlines 
Little cubs denned in their late quilt and wishing no schooling today 
Rest world racing themselves to indulge in work deadlines 

What if; it wasn't a lockdown noon...

The Invisible Enemy
Corona is grabbing the headlines

Threatening like receding hairline

Attacks the lungs and spreads like a pandemic

Hijacks the cells and multiplies like an epidemic

 

He is called the "invisible enemy"

Keeping mankind in search for remedy

Let’s be on alert, sanitize your hands

Spread this information to all lands

 

Many...
