No drumstick

No drumstick

there will be
no drumstick
for the 
drug addicted 
Poet

A turkey meal
at Denny's 
or an extra 
Pick me up
Opioid 
with a Mickey's 
from 
the 7 eleven
To wash it
Down
Was the menu
He had to choose

The latter
Was his
Selection

Who wants
a poorly 
Cooked 
Meal
Anyway?

Last year
He was
The object
Of
Her
Affection

Today 
Just
A bitter
Memory
Of financial
Physical 
And emotional 
Abuse
At the
hand
Of a junkie
That believed
His
Own lie
That
It was a 
Disease
caused 
By trying
To
Mask

Condition

She finally 
had it
It is
not a disease 

Just poor
Excuses

All of us
Have
pain
Some of
Us
Deeper
Than
others

Go back
In your
Convertible
to the 
Mart
And
Panhandle 

Your high
Anyway

Maybe 
You will
Get
Enough
For
a turkey
sandwic🥪 
And 
A
BIG GULP

Her Book
came
Out yesterday 
On
Amazon
No
Dedication
Or honorary 
Mention 
Just
joy
That 
a brutal
Chapter 
Had
Ended

Being Me

It takes a lot to walk away from an abusive relationship. You are right, we do all carry pain, in one form or another, around with us. Hope you are okay, Greg x

Hello Greg...

Unfortunately, with the turn of events many people excluding the elites of course will probably have to share a Drumstick and fly signs next year not many will be able non necessities...

Maybe, poor timing and just maybe people will be able to have some extra money at the end of this decade...

We shall see...

It's easier to go up from the middle than it is from the bottom of the pit...

Maybe, people will become tired of digging and struggling one day...

So far I think many enjoy it...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Feathers
I wrote this poem for victims of drug addicts.  They hurt the ones they love and always use the crutch that their addiction is a disease.  It is not, it is a choice.  I wrote this  for someone who had to deal with this.  I do hope the person who is addicted, will one day pull himself out of the trenches, I really do.
