Drugs

Why can't you grant yourself forgiveness? You tainted the minds of our youth; Why can't you grant yourself forgiveness? You’re a murderer, extinguishing our future's truth. O, you poison, seeping through veins; Parents weep in shared sorrow's reigns; What mercy have you shown, none but pain? For our nation's dreams, you've sown disdain. Earth longs for shape, for futures bright; But you drugs cling to shadows, shun the light; You crave dominion, in you might; Yet our visions fade, drowned in night. No! Our hopes shattered, in despair; Echoes of hunger, of souls laid bare; Mercy, where? Your grip, unfair; In your cruel hands, dreams tear. You, the merciless, where's your grace? From graves, youth bloom, in a tragic chase; Your allure brings tears, a bitter embrace; Peace you promise, yet destruction you embrace. You're a ravenous beast, without reprieve, Devouring innocence, without a need to grieve, You drugs, you have destroyed youth’s future, You drugs, you are merciless and cruel.
