Addiction, Resolve, Straightening out

Oh Roger, Roger


 You are such an artful dodger


Sometimes, an irresponsible little codger


 


Forgiveness begged for, how many times more?


When are you


Going to pick yourself up off the floor?


 


Always trying to make everyone feel better


Playing the part of the jester,


Always witty and


So pithy


 


But Roger, the ‘healing’ comes from within!


Examine you heart and your head


You have a beautiful young daughter


Who needs to be led


 


Time is running out!  Are you going to do


What needs to be done before it’s too late?


Or are you going to leave her alone


To deal with her own fate?


 


Where are you going to be in her hour of need?


Who is going to help her to read?


When you are ‘high’ up on that cloud


That you call ‘speed’

A very poignant message here, well written.
Ty, many need to do the same in this world.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
