Forget Me Not

A POEM SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND OF MINE. I ALWAYS FEEL THAT SOMETIMES WE/I FORGET TO JUST SAY HELLO AND SEE HOW SOMEONE IS DOING. IN ADDICTION WE GET CAUGHT UP IN OURSELVES AND LOOSE TOUCH WITH THE ONES WE LOVE....HERE IS THE POEM SENT TO ME:


Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.


Seize the day. Never have regrets.


And most importantly, stay close to your friends

and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today.






SMILE, even through your tears!!!!!

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.
