Sad State Of Affairs Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life is funny at times, people undecided on where to go
or what to do with their lives, yet seeming to be will-
ing too readily, to fall into traps of drinking or doing
drugs.

A very sad state of affairs, children, young and just
learning, beginning to start out, finding their purpose
and destiny, getting turned and twisted from a moral and
ethical life by using drugs and alcohol.

Families being torn apart, loved ones dying for unreal
reasons it seems, tears being shed, hearts breaking and
minds being tortured and taken away due to habits of
drugs and drinking.

Wanting to help others, but at times seeming to be lost,
satan having taken over their beings, leaving them with
sad and helpless feelings, not able to do anything, not
even for those you have loved your entire life.
