Chasing The Dragon: Drug Use And Abuse

Dear Comrade,

My name is drugs and I am easily found in your neighbourhood.
I wreck homes and tear apart relationships.
I respect no socio-economic class.
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
Dare me and I will possess you.
I will be your guide, role model and mentor.
You will learn to steal, lie and persevere discomfort for my sake.
I will reward you with both infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Be assured I will be right by your side.
Hand in hand we will walk until a rehab or death does us part.

Your faithful companion,
Drugs
