Poetic Verses
Addiction's Road
It can be something somewhat like a social morass
When a place is hit but that drug addiction's blast
One can just shake the head and count those friends among the casualties
As there is that regret that they could little to avert the eventualities
How many times this situation has become a very grave problem
Which has strained and eventually destroyed many a relation
As that loved one's mind so addicted get drawn like something magnetic
Because that drug's strong attraction is needed to get the needed fix
Then one can remember a friend who has a problem keeping an occupation
As they always lost it because of those regular bouts of absenteeism
Tending to demonstrate little sign of or any form of resistance
To sever any ties they have with the new friend, that controlled substance
And as those urges get stronger, that need to have become very regular
There will be only time and attention and the focus will be on no other
But that substance which will relegate them to a life fraught with squalor
Even in this state no matter the painted picture, there will be very little bother
With no finances, reduced charity no means of getting to that high
That route of deception, lying and stealing they may try
But these may be petty but as the intensity increases on the clouded mind
Then there will be that resort to some potentially serious crime
Now being reduces to such a state on the years before you would never dream
It may seem sudden that there is very little attention paid to that state of personal Hygiene
There will also no care about health so will never thing about that of the individual
With whom there is that sharing of the intravenous drug shot in by a needle
But as time progresses and those moment become even more complex
To get that high the only thing to barter is to supply some sex
This may be done without any precaution, spontaneously so not protection
Now there that possibility of contraction a sexually transmitted disease infection
In this scenario that promiscuity may increase that grave possibility
Of being afflicted with that dreaded disease which is called HIV
This may bring some clarity to the mind, realizing your addiction got you that way
Now there is that constant dosages of pharmaceutical to bring joy to the day.
