Crack Mother

Lips wrapped tightly around that glass pipe.
Money going up in smoke and your life is following quickly.
Ten years in this game. Time wasted that can never be regained.
Thousands of dollars stolen and pain deeply rooted.
Do you care about the lives affected?
For you caring isn't an option. You don't even care for yourself.
Your children are emotionally scared from your continued absences.
four children to be exact. And where are they now?
With daddy, grandma, cousin or auntie?
Do you feel like you have abandoned them? Well you have!
Your family runs the same path as your children.
Distrust runs rampant. Locks on windows, closets, and doors.
Feeling uneasy as you walk the floors.
I want to grab you and beat some sense into you.
Show you what you are doing.
Twin babies - boys - born on your birthday.
Smoking all night you didn't even make it to the hospital.
Now one baby is on oxygen.
His lungs polluted and clouded with YOUR DRUGS.
When will it end? Will it take death for you to see clearly?
But in reality death will be the only way
