Crack, a new drug hit the streets. <br />To some, it is an awesome treat. <br />The fee is not very high to pay. <br />Unfortunately, your life, crack <br />will claim one day. <br /> <br />One hoot may be an experiment, <br />and leave you still secure. <br />Two hoots, you’ll start skitching <br />and asking for much more. <br /> <br />Prejudices, crack has none, taking <br />one and all, to that spinning downward <br />fall. Man or woman, boy or girl, it <br />takes you all for a whirl. <br /> <br />Your love for family and friends, no <br />longer take priority. For you have <br />found a substance that has absolute <br />seniority. <br /> <br />Down upon your knees you’ll fall <br />for the drug-lord and his friends, <br />and beg to smoke the big one, through <br />morning to nights end. <br /> <br />What you want is very clear, <br />a hit or two to see you through. <br />Then walk the streets both day <br />and night, no where to go, no <br />where in sight. <br /> <br />A whore, you have become, a liar and <br />a cheat. Paranoid, fearful, while living <br />in the street. You left your family <br />without a trace, they know not of your <br />whereabouts. You have no one to call <br />your friend, the bottom you have hit. <br />What will become of you now, that <br />crack has lured you to, its bottomless, <br />pit. <br /> <br />Written: August 12/2006<br /><br />Melvina Germain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/994-crack/
