Fractured lives

Cleared out a crack house today

I saw the faces in pictorial displays,

They were evicted and left a mess

Over 500 needles say, these addicts are obsessed,

On trying hard to rediscover the greatest high

Sadly I can’t see them living a long life,

Selling sex to get their fix, stealing and getting nicked

Now I guess they’re homeless maybe in the streets,

Without much of a future, a life so obsolete

Yet I can’t help feeling somehow in a way profound,

That these lives are wasted, with no hope of help,

Dirty fucking addicts they’re seen as

No care for the hand they have been dealt.
