Really dirty person

Poem Commentary

Wrote this after being involved with a crack addict which was a new experience.
Never knew he was into the stuff in the begining but found out in the end.

Really dirty person

No one put a gun to his head

because inside he was already dead

making that choice so long ago

using that urge to say HELLO

wishing he'd said goodbye instead

he faces cocaine with looming dread

selfish and self centered he has been

living cut off to an addiction end

loved one's going through personal hell

afraid to face or even tell

his narcotic soul being so weak

not able to grasp the help he needs

he'd rather keep going until he drops

when the angel of death finally knocks.

Thank you for your note of encouragement.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
