Poems
Addiction
Freebase, the dragons chase, off my face
Golden brown, the family frowns, feeling down
Heroin, sell everything, eating food from a wheelie bin
Crack, smack, can’t get this monkey off my back
LSD, Ecstasy, THC, GHB – that’s right fantasy
Nitrazipam, Temazipam, wham bam thank you mam
Have a dig, light a cig, and avoid a pig
Roll a joint, oh what’s the point? My lungs to anoint
Can’t find a vein, going insane, fixing cocaine
Amphetamine labs, corner shop tabs, rehabs
Methadone, monies all blown, I’ll never take Naltrexone
Drug dealing, good feeling, seems quite appealing
Lots of cash, lost the stash, there’s always a lack of ash!
Sharing pins, forgive my sins, in the end no one wins
Enjoy a toot, or even a boot, and then come down without a parachute
Plug the gear, have a beer, the police are here
Rob a bank, have a crank, is there anyone left to scank?
Score a bag, have some scag, I’m just one of life’s old lags
Gear fumes, favorite spoons, the rattle will be here soon
Feeling rough, had enough? No, I just need some more stuff
Hep C, HIV, is this the way life is meant to be?
Off my head, smoking bread, no doubt I’ll soon be dead
Diconal and peach Palfium, injecting drugs out of someone else’s bum
Codeine, morphine, I prefer the opium dream
Welcome to my drug scene!
