Walking Dead Poem by josette rice

THE WALKING DEAD
WHAT IS IT WITH with this H E R O I N that makes it so addictive?To cause addicts to look like the WALKING DEAD -zombie like?
WHAT IS IT with H E R O I N that sucks the life out of our otherwise beautiful young men and women?
IS THE HIT of the opiate better than a strong working mind that is able to create and recreate? Once Healthy, strong and intelligent but now a mind fixated on another F I X
Scheming after each COME DOWN before they startCLUCKING (the itching, aching limbs, runny nose and eyes, constant yawning)on how to get the next F I X as the EUPHORIA only lasts for seconds, like some orgasms BUT unlike an orgasm H E R O I N DRAINS the body of natural serotonin and Melanin from the BRAIN and(Pause)
There they go the WALKING DEAD, denied of sleep as they CHASE THE DRAGON, WALKING DEAD
Their bony faces peer through hollowed eye sockets with their bony cheek bones resembling some of Vivienne Westwood's emaciated stick thin models with pale skin and dark eye bags strutting on the cat walk.
BUT these WALKING DEAD are far from a Model's runway more like on the RUNWAY to DEATH.
HE - RUIN HER-RUIN HEROIN has depleted the fats from their sinewy bones leaving them resemblingHUMAN HEROIN Stick insects.
Teeth which have been eroded by the smoking of this drug leaving huge gaps as evidence to onlookers of their ADDICTION - the damage to their once healthy teeth could only be replicated by eating a million bags of Haribo sweets
OH! ! The tales that are spun they don't need creative writing classes the tales are out of this WORLD.
The LIES, the constant TRIPS TO CASH CONVERTORS, STEALING from WHOEVER AND WHEREEVER TO GET ANOTHER HIT - A FIX AND WHEN CHALLENGED OH HOW THEY RISE UP AND PROTEST! !
EMPHATICALLY, CONVINCINGLY, DENIAL, DENIAL
HEROIN (HE -RUIN - HER RUIN)
WHAT IS IT WITH THIS H E R O I N that makes it so addictive and transform our young men and women into WALKING DEADS
H E R O I N - HERUIN HER RUIN
