ALPHABET OF DRUGS A is for addiction, your whole life is devoted to drugs, B if for booze, it messes with your mind turning consumers into thugs, C is for the cravings, the uncontrollable desires, D is for downers, relaxes and tires, E is for escaping your problems trying to forget, F is for failure, sorrow and regret, G is for GHB which has a slightly salty taste, H is for heroin, claims the lives of many, what a waste, I is for injecting, where problems have arisen, J is for justice putting pushers into prison, K is for the killing which happen every year, L is for LSD, when wearing off, brings fear, M is for the mothers who cry because they care, N is for the need to take away despair, O is for overdose which the medical profession hate, P is for peer pressure, applied sometimes by a mate, Q is for queasiness, the dizzy effect, R is for the risk knowing people might suspect, S is for solvents like gas and aerosol spray, T is for tranquillisers to get you through the day, U is for uppers to bring you back from hell, V is for vomiting, the retching and the smell, W is for withdrawal, needs willpower which comes from within, X is for xerosis, solvents cause this dryness of the skin, Y is for yield, giving in to the temptation, Z is for zest, intense enthusiasm and elation. by Debbie [This message has been edited by Debbie Drugs (edited 06-18-2000).] |

wow...Debbie, a unique way to learn the alphabet. I must say that my only drug is alcohol and one that I rarely abuse in excess. Too much of a good thing can is bad for you, and too much of bad thing is lethal. really enjoyed your poem, I am reminded of the quote from William S. Burroughs, "Junk is the ideal product. The ultimate merchandise. No sales talk necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client". Welcome to Passions. < !signature--> ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 06-18-2000).] |
