Everyone in America is either fat or on coke
apply this theory to anyone and it isn't such a joke
and the drugs they run through the city
like a river like a river
and the drugs make teens all shiver oh they shiver
and they all the while kill our liver kill our liver kill our liver
and the coke runs through the high schools where once the track stars ran
and the huff is in the middle schools once the Coke left the can
and the kids aren't alright they just want to get high
parents don't care just what they wear and they seem to care less as they start to die
Coke runs through the city, no more sleep over fun
its grab bag delivery, nine, pistol, and gun.
It destroys the innocence
The dealers get paid
the twelve year old daughters are all getting laid
It has whited out the city, a mid-western hometown
no one cares now, no foot is put down
Everyone wants to be slimmer, and sometimes eating disorders aren't enough
so they package their plants and get into this stuff
Coke blows through the city like a fog
the day of the beating of the castraded dog
bleeding dopamine brain broken use
there is nothing, there is no excuse
taking the bullets your superman dies
tony montana, lord of your flies
wounded are the noses of youth's bleeding pain
and d.a.r.e. wouldn't dare to stop the power it'd regain
And Coke runs through the city
Killing ambition, aborting the wishing
everybody, everybody, gone fishing
Rock River of Coke
Give them the Rock
Time is all wasted all wasted from the clock
white powder crowds every corner house, every lockerrom, every italian restaurant, every car dealership, every construction agency, it crowds us all out
there is winter in the middle of summer soltice season
there is a blank vacant unreasonable reason
The whiteness is a fog imparing the cities vision
And the river of coke is the plague of division
being an ex-druggie, this poem really makes me regret my past. ive been clean for a while now, but i can never regain the years i threw away. i have no children myself, but if i do have them someday, i will do all i can to keep them off of the drugs that almost killed me. people like me really need to read poems like this more often, it helps.
