Candy Land Poem by Blake Foxx

It always starts out simple,
maybe something sweet.
Just a little candy, no harm
at all.

Then comes the constent need.
The need for more and more.

After a little it starts to become
an obsession, the need for it so
bad you'll do anything.

And thats when it happens,
you meet him, the man from
Candy Land. He always has
candy and he's always so nice.

You ask him and he says ok,
lets drive off to Candy Land.
You get in with him and buckle up,
just like a good little child.

After that you see him smile and
he gives you a lolipop. You smile
and take it, the last words you say
are thanks mister.

And thats the last thing you ever say,
the next place your seen is six feet
under and the Candy Man got your
candy. Is that what you wanted, is that
how it was supposed to end?
With your mother standing over you and
weeping. I bet it wasn't...
