True Escape In Him
Why so many addicted to those hookahs?
Nerds, playas, gamers and bookers.
Why so many addicted to the bong?
Handsome, ugly, weak and strong.
Marijuana - better known as weed,
Is a blessed but is a cursed seed.
So many youths are lost in its daze,
They live life in an absent minded haze.
Many more need to drink the rum,
The suit -in suits- and earthly bum.
In its toxic intoxication they bask,
Saying they need a slip to relax.
So many drink their lives away,
They sip before their bills they pay.
Alcohol’s toxic intoxications,
Are ruining our gentle nations.
Sadly kids learn by example,
Thus many would try and sample.
Then many would end up trapped,
Because bottles were never capped.
The truth is addiction’s rude wit,
Is a thing of the human spirit.
The best way to avoid its stifle,
Is through he who’s in the Bible.

Christ has given you a gift of insight. But it is up to you to learn how to write poetry. If you want a wider audience, take some classes and read from the English classics.
