Living off of coke and acid

This poem is not about my drug use. The late 1980s had rampant use of drugs everywhere. This was written some 30 years ago I don't quite remember who this was written about. Or just about everything

Living off coke and Acid (1987 age 19)

Living in the fast lane, it never stops. The world turns around and never stops. Not for sleep, not for food, only to live off of... coke and acid.

You don't want to slow down because you think if you do you'll get left behind. But if you keep going so fast how long can you last. Living off of...coke and acid...

Isn't a joke this is how many people live...and die. But it's some things you just had to try. You had your reasons and you know they were good. It's why you can't go on that's missed understood.

As they all laugh at you, wonder whether to laugh or cry. As you count your money to see how much it will buy .

If this keeps up you'll just be one of those statistics you read about every day. And soon the day ....you will finally slow down and the night will be long and in your iron steel casket you will lay
