Drug Addiction

“Beware of Drugs!”
cautioned the banner
“Be away from Thugs!”
it said in this manner

“They give intoxication
and a vague sense of Joy!
But there are repercussions
which none can avoid.

You become addicted to it
and without it can’t live!
AIDS can spread as its injected
sharing as you take and give.

Beware for it demands death!
Terrible are the withdrawal symptoms.
A constant pang it will bequeath,
merciless will the condition become.


Say NO to Drugs!
Don’t be caught by the fancy!
Say No to the thugs,
who talk of buoyancy!”

My Doctor, as he heard this,
very gently did smile
“Be Patient and don’t miss
this new drug of mine”

I heard on, breath abated
for my Doctor is God
I did feel elated
seeing the break of the dawn


“It’s a powerful intoxicant
which gives infinite bliss!
It’s users it will enchant
they’ll take nothing else but this!

Oh it’s addictive like breath
Free, yet of tremendous value.
It AIDS all those who use it
and inject others in lieu.

Its a new birth that you get
from the old you will die!
Those who get up from this death-bed
will find their conscience does bite!

This is the drug of all knowledge
the essence of all good.
Inject with a meditative syringe
and you’ll have Universal Brotherhood!”
