My name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short. <br />I entered this country without a passport. <br />Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich. <br />Some have been murdered and found in a ditch. <br />I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold. <br />Use me just once and you too will be sold. <br />I'll make a schoolboy forget his books. <br />I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks. <br />I'll take renowned speaker and make a bore. <br />I'll take a mother and make here a whore. <br />I'll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach. <br />I'll make a preacher not want to preach. <br />I'll take all your rent money and you'll get evicted. <br />I'll murder your babies or they'll be born addicted. <br />I'll make you rob and steal and kill. <br />When you're under my power you have no will. <br />Remember my friend my name is ' Big C '. <br />If you try me just one time you may never be free. <br />I've destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero. <br />I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero. <br />I make shooting and stabbing a common affair. <br />Once I take charge you won't have a prayer. <br />Now that you know me what will you do? <br />You'll have to decide, It's all up to you. <br />The day you agree to sit in my saddle. <br />The decision is one that no one can straddle. <br />Listen to me, and please listen well. <br />When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell! ! !<br /><br />Ruby Mae Heard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-name-is-cocaine/
