The Time Has Come

The time has come

for fun and games to end.

This is no laughing matter.

 

Lock away the drugs,

throw away the booze

hide away the knives.

 

These things must be done.

To save him from himself.

 

I know they will only work for a while

but for now it will have to do

 

Now get me on a goddam plane

so I can help him too.

Sounds like an intervention... Not the greatest experiences I have had in my life personally, and to be honest, it didn't help me or many others I have known. It's only made things worse. Finding oneself is something that should be left up to that person, and if forced into finding a deeper truth before one is ready, can be more dangerous than death itself I think.

Great write. its short. just the way i like poems. simple ideas straight to the point expressed through poetic ideas.
