Drugs in my community

I take a look around my streets

There are no more coppers on the beat,

Druggies go and rob down town

Then take their gains to the dealers for a trade,

From teenage kids still at school

To those who are desperate and are fooled,

To believe that it will ease their lives

But then violence hits in the form of knives,

And so many kids then lose their fucking life,

All because of the postcode or county lines

And it is not just black on black crime,

Many who die or are doing time

Are white kids and men because drugs don’t mind,

The colour or class of the victims on my street

Or the mother’s and the families left behind to keep.

  1. So sad.
    I do think there would be far fewer deaths and less suffering if drugs were legalised. We often forget how many deaths and related tragic incidents there are due to socially accepted alcohol.
