Lies and Excrement

 

They are lost children, vulnerable,

But not so innocent.

For that has been stripped away.

They are not kids of three or eight or sixteen years,

But anywhere between twenty-one and thirty plus,

 

Lost and searching,

Stumbling and bumbling along,

Looking for the one they wanted to be,

Or could have been,

Or imagined themselves to be.

 

So they are lost in the oblivion,

And the lies and the excrement,

That the world of drug addiction offers.

A sobering insight that is rampant in every city on this planet. It is truly detestable how far people can fall under the influence.

It is both sad and frightening for these kids could be yours or mine and instead of helping them most people are all to quick to turn their backs, condemn them and thank God it is not one of theirs.

That is world build by monsters that didn't stop at nothing for the gain of a buck, genuflecting in the front of Mammon altars after planting many seeds of misery.
