Drinkin' & Drugs

This is placed in Category: Memoir, but I have no memoir of it, as I always say:
"Long Term Drug use = short term memory loss. Or is it the other way around, I can never seem to remember...for some reason!

“Drinking n’ Drugs”


 


Done em’ both,


Much experience,


Been there, done that, as they say (whoever they are?)


Are they bad fer ya’? I can’t say, will have to do more to find out.


My pleasure as always…


 


On the negative, I seem to lose memories & words every now and then.


 


On the positive, I seem to lose memories & words every now and then.


 


Does that make me a druggie or lush?


I would much prefer the latter, seems to be more acceptance there…


To comprehend acceptance, look around at the world of rock stars and movie idols…


Twould’ seem they are not concerned,


So why should anyone else,


After all, they are rich, glamorous & know it all…


And I am only I…

Ed,
I get your point! I used to be hooked on pain pills because of my
brainstem tumor/lesion. Went thru rehab twice and kicked the drugs as of September 2000! I just realized I had my 3 yr anniversary! I should have treated myself to dinner! I will treat myself to ice cream on Sunday at my nephews party!

Excellent poem that gets the message across!
Love ya!
Friends,
Becca in Roanoke,Texas a rural community

P.S. Thanks for the review on Animal poem and soccer!

you said it perfectly in this one, my friend--why do the politicians and celebrities get away with crime, with little more than a slap on the wrist, and the "commonman" is thrown UNDER the jail??? something's not right

(((HUGS))) and love,

karla. :)

Move to Alaska, as they have stopped all Pot arrests/ and they have more drunks there than anywhere, can't imagine why, what with all that hot weather they have. I liked this, gulp.

Funny how a society 'okays' the immorality of the rich and famous but when a person not so rich and famous is in the same boat they are nothing more than just a street junkie. Point well make Ed. Lisa

River of Memories: An Appalachian Boyhood by David Thompson

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
