Heroin
By Hope

Behold my friend I am HEROIN
Known to all as the destroyer of men.
From where I come nobody knows,
far away places where poppies grow.

I came into this country without getting caught,
and now every day I am hunted and sought.
Whole nations have gathered to plan my destruction,
they call me a breeder of crime and corruption.

I am more deadly than whiskey, more deadly than wine,
hence I am known as the scourge of mankind.
I come in a powder that's nothing but waste,
I look soft and fluffy, and bitter to taste.

I am brown, I am white, but deadly to use,
and once you're addicted, I really abuse.
I have friends in Thailand, Iraq and Iran,
I am welcome in Turkey and have been to Japan.

In cellophane wraps I soon make my way
to men in their offices and children at play.
From heads of state to the lowest of scum,
I give you my word, they'll be under my thumb.

I will take a rich man and make him poor,
and I will take a virgin and make her a *****.
I will make you selfish and fill you with greed,
regardless of color, religion or creed.

My gift is illusion, my blessing is fake.
Death and destruction follow my wake.
I am the kiss of death to all that I touch,
I start as a gift and end as a crutch.

My friends are many, but I'm loyal to none,
I've come to destroy and my work will be done.
Foolish men think I'm merely a toy,
wise men know I mean to destroy.

Run for me if you like, for I will never chase,
for sooner or later you'll return for a taste.
Once in your bloodstream you will think I'm not mean,
You'll praise me as a master, nod in a dream.

You have heard my warnings, but will not take heed,
put your foot in the stirrup and mount this great steed,
get right in the saddle and hold on real well
for the great horse of HEROIN will take you to HELL!!!
