    Curse of Drugs
    Truth is bold
    A son is born as foretold
    Joy to my world
    Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
    At last a son of my own

    Mom’s care the best
    Nothing less but the finest
    Gives the greatest
    Cheers, cheers, more cheer!
    Exulted we were

    Years to come
    What has become
    Of my son awesome
    Applause, applause, more applause!
    Wonderful is he

    Days pass by
    Found him with alibis
    Thought he’d say goodbye
    Jeers, jeers, more jeer!
    My son is down, poisoned by drugs

    As heavy as a boulder
    A burden upon my shoulder
    Never to surrender
    Gonna fight on
    Away with you to rehab!

    To keep alive
    Gonna survive
    But don’t dive
    On your feet my boy
    My God, he’s dead!

    In my nest
    Thought you’re honest
    Yet we need kindness
    For God sake, tell me
    Where have we failed?

    too sad, yet far too often too true.... bad things happen to good people sometimes, keep your chin up and keep writing!
