Whenever I see the people, <br />Those play with the dope, <br />Sitting on the high chair, <br />Sipping in little by little, <br />Inhale the crushed smoke, <br />They can’t resist the instincts, <br />To go for another round, <br />Until their senses are bent, <br />Not legal even to drive, <br />The cars on the empty roads, <br /> <br />They are too brave, <br />To believe the outside world, <br />They can be easily framed, <br />They can be readily cheated, <br />They are the fools to spoil their organs, <br />Cough the nasty germs out, <br />They are rearing fondly in the lungs, <br />They are no more useful to anyone, <br />Once they reach the stage of drunk, <br />High and start to have wild dreams, <br /> <br />Once upon a time I was scared, <br />Looking at the relatives and friends, <br />For they have chosen the wrong, <br />Everyone has to leave, <br />None stays here permanent, <br />Leaving the world with such a pain, <br />Regretting for the careless actions, <br />When there is no cure and medicine, <br />Human look very haunted and weak, <br /> <br />I have been there for them, <br />To have moral support, <br />Listening to their troubles and dreams, <br />Curses from them go to their accomplishes, <br />Who are mostly absent, when they are expected, <br />The lonely human in many beds and hospitals, <br />May expect many of you to be their replacement. <br /> <br />out of ten, what chance you have, to quit, <br />out of ten what choice you have to be healthy, <br />out of ten what decision you make to live happily, <br />out of ten, what you can do to live beyond sixty.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abuses/
