Problems

Don’t escape your problems
by using illegal drugs.
Don’t resort to joining a gang
or hanging out with thugs.
By doing so your problems
will just increase in size.
Don’t drag yourself down that road –
listen to the wise.

No matter your drug of choice
be it heroin, coke, or ice
Turn around and walk away
or else you’ll pay the price.
The price could be withering away
locked in an 8 x 10 cell
or even worse – a whole lifetime
of being miserable in Hell.

Working through a problem
by finding a solution
will undeniably create
a promising conclusion.
Talk about your problems
with a counselor, parent or friend –
Dope is only an answer
as a means to your end.
