D. R. U. G (Don't Ruin Us, God Said) Poem by Rowland Howells Ibifiri Orumbie

Drugs hard and strong
Enough to lift my heavy spirit!
In The Same breath
Push my health
Down to it limit
Conquering the mind
With a brute force
Taking over every thought!
Assuming total control
Imprisoning the soul.
What did start
As a friendly fire on pain and boredom
Ongoing as an emotional genocide
On my heart
First I was reluctant
Now I can't resist
Taking blow after blow
With arms down and an open fist
I single handedly handed
My whole self this defeat
It got out of hand
I couldn't take a stand.
Weak against this quick hits
From all this hard drugs
Too soft to reject this loss
Watching as my life
Becomes Drugs chattel
Losing this fight
Failing to realize it's a battle
