Segue- The Methadone Clinic

Silent and the silence...

 

Screams at four in the morning...many times it's at three in the morning...

 

They got punked for their crack, coke, ****** maybe it was pills...

 

They fight the good fight over there...soldiers in deserts of war...

 

Yet here in my community I see the dealers and the ******

 

I am sorry for that word, excuse me...I never made it up...

 

In Swansea City they fill the needles with puddle water...

 

I have heard they do that here...

 

She never planned on being a *****

 

Turned to the dope...thought it would heal the sore...

 

My friend went to get himself put on the liquid handcuffs...

 

That's what the junkies call methadone...

 

I sat in the waiting room and watched them enter...

 

Some brought their children

 

One chap was with his dad...

 

They are looked the same

 

Trying to relieve themselves of sadness and pain

 

Have hope, sweet child...mommy is here

 

Have hope, dear reader...because not all will succumb to their fears

I have been wondering if there is a correlation between the rise of ****** addiction and the war in Afghanistan...maybe i am to young to realize it has always been that way...seems fishy doesn't it?
