The Circles End

 

 

White powder hills
flowing through straws
Mushroom dreams
down breathing halls
Ecstasy thrills for us all
High  higher
Fly
over the moon
Hard we fall
crash too soon
Just One more call
to end the blues
The vicious cycle
then continues
Color of roses no longer red
Vision gets bleak
and we all fall dead

A brutal view from the inside, on the widest held delusion in our society today, and it's inevitable, unavoidable consequence. I was blessed (though it surely didn't feel like a blessing at the time!) to get the absolute crap scared out of me in 1971, so my brief foray into alcohol and other psychoactives ended very abruptly! Regrettably, those who need this message are probably not on this site.

Wow! This was incredible. The highs and lows of drug addiction.... Absolutely amazing :]

[Tony]

Great message, so true. Great rhyme scheme as well. Some never get the chance to learn this lesson...they fall very quickly, a sad reality.

Wow, what a powerful write. You described the rise and fall of addiction perfectly. Phantom...........

[E. Maggard]

A very relevant description of drug use- which I think is timeless. The line about the roses no longer being red was great- I get somewhat tired of rose references thanks to Hallmark, but this one hit home. Very powerful stuff here.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A very intense and realistic verse of just what drugs can do to you...

Color of roses no longer red
Vision gets bleak
and we all fall dead

that ending was fierce but hit the nail on then head... people use drugs to escape life and many do permanently and those who don't never have a real life and even destroy lives of loved ones too. Gripping and powerfully honest write.

[BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE]

This i think is an excellent example of how the use of a substance can impact on our lives, you have utilised your words carefully and created an absolute masterpiece of writing, an aurora follows this writer around wherever she goes people have respect an always a valied contribution.
I am impressed by your style of writing you show wisdom,vitality and the ability to articulate what we all feel, drugs abuse can play significant part in destabilising society but at the same time giving one a very short lift, i use sleep deprivation as my drug often not sleeping for a 72 hour period than when i have a cigarette or a glass of wine it's like 20 times the impact so i don't use drugs if i want to get high.

WOW. I love this!
"Mushroom dreams down breathing halls" My favorite line.

Is this about what think it's about?
