My Name is Cocaine

IT HAS BEEN AROUND 15 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST CRACK-COCAINE USE, I AM CONTINUALLY HUMBLED AND BLESSED FOR THE POSTIVE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. THIS POEM IS AN ANONYMOUS PIECE. a POWERFUL REMINDER OF WHAT THIS EVIL SUBSTANCE "WILL" DO TO YOU.

MY NAME IS COCAINE

Beware, my friends, my name is Cocaine,
Crack for short, or the Rock. . .
I entered this country without a passport,
Ever since I’ve been hunted and sought.
I’m more valued than diamonds, more treasured
than gold.
Use me just once and you too will be sold.
I’ll make a school boy forget his books,
I’ll make a beauty queen neglect her looks,
I’ll take a renown speaker and make him a bore,
I’ll take your mama and make her a whore,
I’ll make a school teacher forget how to teach,
I’ll make a preacher not want to preach.
All kinds of people have fallen under my wing,
Just look around, see the results of my sting,
I’ve got daughters turning on their mothers,
I’ve got sisters robbing their brothers,
I’ve got burglars robbing the Lord’s house,
I’ve got husbands pimping their spouse.
I’m the king of crime and the Prince of Destruction
I’ll cause the organs of your body to malfunction,
I’ll cause your babies to be born hooked,
I’ll turn the most honest of men into despicable crooks,
I’ll make you rob, steal and kill
When you’re under my power, you have no will.
I’ve destroyed actors, politicians, and sports hero’s
I’ve decreased bank accounts from millions to zero
I’m a bad habit, too tough for the man,
I’ve caused the law to invest in the battering-ram.
Well now, make up your mind, what will you do?
Remember, my friend, it’s all up to you
If you jump into my saddle, you’d better ride well
For on the white horse of Cocaine, I’ll take you straight to hell.
