This is encouragement to those who suffer the Scourge of drug addiction and selling. They can gain victory in the power of God.

Scourges of Drug Addiction

Life of a drug addict is one of great shame,
Of widespread abuse and one of many pains,
A good life devalued, feeling worthless as a penny,
Determine what you are worth if your life's worth any,
Show to the world your life is of priceless value,
Make greater choices and prove the haters untrue.

So many stories are told of diseases through needle contamination,
Prostitution, and receiving death because of desperation,
The satisfaction of one's unsatiable urges to consume,
Big destruction of internal organs from its vapor and its fumes,
Distruction caused by blood borne diseases, aids and hepatitis are some,
Many once so promising, it's surprising what they've become.

When in life one's decided to choose a pathway of crack,
You're saying to the world that you're life's not on track,
Go seek the best of help you may, oh thou addicted soul,
Make choices for a better way, be decisive and be bold,
Sober up and make the choices better for your life,
God has given mercy and tons of reasons to survive,
Turn around, enjoy and live that fuller and meaningful life.

Some folks believe that their lives is not ones of worth
I am sure that our Father loves everyone here on earth,
Place great value on yourselves and do not pain inflict,
Ask for liberation of your heart and soul from being an addict.
You can gain the strength to break it in God's power,
Allow Him full control of your life each day and passing hour.

Submit to God and leave cocaine and crack,
Meth or morphine get your life on track,
Weed or speed of whatever kind,
It's a demon and don't bring peace of mind,
For in God your life is of worth,
In Him is victory, and acheiving rebirth.
Seeking help from strong people is wise,
You are loved though lonely, so don't be surprised.

I've never seen this subject matter on this site and I'm glad I stumbled on your page! In today's world drugs are so common place, really almost everyone has some substance in their life they use to numb themselves. Be it food, work, alcohol. "It's a demon and don't bring peace of mind." that line really sums it up for me. Thank you for sharing!

Drugs have taken over many communities and they may never recover. The addiction and sales have made them very poor. The sales give artificial security. This security is short lived. The life of a drug pusher is very short, unlikely to live out his youthful years.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
