Lost To The Drug Devil


Oh! What a tragedy!

This life, a gift from God

Nurtured by Mother’s Love

Brought up by father’s care

Lost - wasted in a puff …

Nothing remains of it now –

Not even the ashes.

Everything is blown away in smoke –

Smoke full of sugar brown,

L.S.D., heroin, God-forbidden stuff!!

You poor soul!

What did you do!

For a pleasure momentary

You punctured your veins,

Filled your lungs with poison.

The very blood in your veins,

Every breath passing through your being

Became a curse to you

Dooming you to a Death

So terrible as to frighten Death itself.

Yes, there was hope.

You had a chance

To redeem yourself of this curse.

But you could not

Fight the scorpions biting you.

The Devil within you

Craved for the deadly stuff –

Knowing well that it was leading you

Down the path of no return

You succumbed to its desires

No more caring about the result.

For a pleasure momentary

You lost your life

To the accursed devil

The DRUG DEVIL!
