King Heroin Is My Sheperd, I Shall Always Want

King Heroin is my shepherd, I shall shall always want.
He maketh me to lie down in the gutters.
He leadeth me beside the troubled waters.
He destroyeth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of wickedness.
Yea, I shall walk through the valley of poverty and will fear no evil for thou, Heroin, art with me.
Thy needle and thy capsule comfort me.
Thou strippest the table of groceries in the presence of my family.
Thou robbest my head of reason. My cup of sorrow runneth over.
Surely heroin addiction shall stalk me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the damned forever.

This appeared in Ann Landers' column. The twisted rewording of the beloved 23rd Psalm was found in a car with the body of a 23 year old woman, whose death was ruled a suicide from a hookup with the car's exhaust pipe. Also found was the following letter from the woman:

Jail didn't cure me. Nor did hospitalization help me for long. The doctor told my family it would have been better, and indeed kinder, if the person who got me hooked on dope had taken a gun and blown my brains out. And I wish to God he had.
