Drugs

The sad truth

Let me get straight to the point.

Heavy drugs and addictions I’m not talking about smoking a joint.

Opioid epidemic

overdoses are overwhelming

People are dying, buying from people that

They themselves don’t know what they selling

Doctor prescribes you the drugs before you even tell him

It’s a money game and money is always put first

Pharmaceutical businesses get money and money but don’t care if it’s worse

And worse it is,

worse then it’s ever been

Pop a couple pills, end up dead next to garbage bin

The opioids prescriptions eventually will end

The addiction is really just beginning

Now you don’t have opioids, so you need something else to give you that feeling

Crack is creeping in the corner with sketchy man that’s always selling

You ain’t got the cash to buy it, so anything you find, you sell it

Making money and not using it to better yourself

In way too deep and there’s no time for help

You’ve literally opened up your own personal hell

Oh well

That’s what the government will happily say.

“ Oh, we are sorry but stuff like this happens everyday..”

fact or fiction
