Poetic-Verses
'' You Died Legal ''
Illegal drugs are for mugs,
Taken by thugs,
That's what they'd have us believe,
Bury the dead in with the slugs,
What lies those in power conceive.
Smoke cigarettes,
They will not take bets,
On exactly how long you will live?
The packets say there will be regrets,
Their diseases do not forgive.
Food that's ate,
The results you'll hate,
Their ingredients the body will reject,
Illnesses and problems you cannot abate,
It's up to you to protect.
Take prescriptions,
Of various descriptions,
They can attack your body by stealth,
Many of them will cause addictions,
Which in turn affects mental health.
One day it's good,
Be it drugs or food,
The next it's a risk to your life,
Nobody knows what to exclude,
Bad advice just gives us all strife.
Take whisky or wine,
They tell us it's fine?
Yet our obsession we just cannot tether,
Millions of people are now in decline,
It kills more than the rest put together.
It makes billions in tax,
So just relax,
Boozing does make you feel regal,
As they line all the bodies up in stacks,
At least you can say,
' You Died Legal '
