Drugs In Society

Yesterday I read, the government asking
Is there much drugs in our society?
Hell yeah, there’s a whole variety
Now I’m not trying to promote
But first you’ve got the coke
That hits the note
Then hits the back of your throat
Then makes you so confident
You don’t walk you float
Then you got the ecstasy, infecting me
Has me falling in love
With the person standing next to me
Then burns away the fat
Till there ain’t nothing left of me
Then we got the Lsd
Setting you free, from reality
To border line insanity
For it ain’t always placid on the acid
Many a man’s been known to flip
Off of a bad trip
Many an hour skip
Where you’ve been imagining weird shit
We’re overloading
On fear and loathing
Hunter S showed em’
Now the drug’s exploding
Plus got to make room
For the magic mushroom
Once you consume
Everything is out of zoom
Out of perspective
Mind starts being a little deceptive
Then you got the biggest fear the gear
Growing bigger every year
Seems earths children are screaming
But no one wants to hear
And don’t forget the beer
Something us Irish love
The worlds most acceptable drug
You can buy it in the pub
And here in Ireland
We’ve five of them in every neighborhood
But I ain’t denying it
It’s all good
And if you’re buying it
Mine’s a Guinness bud.

See from this economic boom
I can see disaster loom
You gave us the money
Now watch us consume
Now what did you assume?
For we are addictive people
Just getting out of our heads
Don’t see it as evil
Now and then we endeavour
When board and crave pleasure
Sometimes so intense is the pleasure
Find it hard to measure
Can’t describe or compare it
So we prescribe to share it
Only consume it now
But maybe eventually we’ll wear it
When the drugs take their toll
And our bodies start to bear it
For we’re the generation
That show no hesitation
In escaping life’s frustrations
For moments of meditation
Forget our obligation
For temporary elation
The jilted generation
Musn’t of been given
Proper drug education
For we’re Europe’s drug nation
Ecstasy capital
And that’s factual
They’re so accessible on the streets
We’ve been eating e’s like sweets
Can’t get in the pub, cause I got no I.D
And I need something, to satisfy me
Put two and two together
And where do you find me?
Out of my mind on E
It makes me laugh
You should be teaching this shit in class
Calling me the fool
Education can be a useful tool
If you teach kids the effects
And how they affect
Your body and intellect
You might just protect
Other kids from following
But for now, man we’re swallowing
A load of cheap dirty pills
To get our cheap dirty thrills
How we fulfill our weekends
And how some of my friends meet ends
Happening right before your eyes
I’m just being your lens
A lot of decent guys, caught up in this trend.

Now we’re showing you
What we’re going through
What you gonna do?
We’re the new breed
Want someone to understand us
But it’s old fogies that lead
They just want to command us
Have you leaving in handcuffs
For dealing in band stuff
To some it seems scandalous
But society it demands it
We have to keep order
In order
To create a border
But the line is very thin
Between doing good
And living a life perceived as sin
I know there were drugs before
But across over shore
They heard the Celtic Tiger roar
Said the Irish are hungry
Send them some more
Till a whole industry landed at our door
Went from stealing to dealing
To stacking notes to the ceiling
And let’s be honest there’s no better feeling
For a man was built to provide
This gives him his pride
And when he doesn’t have pride
He feels empty inside
I know this world can be sleazy
But it’s so easy
To get caught up in it
Put some thought up in it
We were brought up in it
So does it astound you?
That it’s around you
We surround you
We’re your sons and your daughters
Trying to build bridges over troubled waters
While we are smoking our quarters
And taking pills in our waters
Ain’t it amazing
How the children you spent your life raising
Have fallen victim to a craving
Just look how we are behaving
And if a high is on supply
People are always going to buy
If you want to fight it
Recognise it
Analyze it
Educate and guide it
To criminalize it
Makes society hide it
Drugs in society, might be one of its ills
But what is it in society? Leaves us unfulfilled?
Should be more classes on drugs, sex, and on health
For we learn so much about subjects, before the subject of self.

Silent Eyes

His silent eyes
Are his overlying disguise
To where his inner envy lies
As he tries
To battle his inner emotion
That’s a bottle he doesn’t want to open
Its secrets never spoken
For fear of what could be woken
He’s choking on it
Can’t stop thinking on it
Moping on it
Doting on
The notion
Of events that will never be set in motion
Tables to big to turn
Bridges to big to burn
His heart burns
Because it yearns
For something it knows doesn’t belong to it
The chains enclosing it are bolted to strong to it
Making sure they never lose it
It would be wrong to move it
There’s to many feelings involved
So deep if cut they may never be resolved
So he keeps it concealed
Cause if revealed
Blows will be dealed
Leaving scars that may never be healed
Cause once the skin is peeled
You cant reseal it
I see his pain I feel it
He’s put ties
On his wandering eyes
As he tries
To stop the spies
That know where his envy lies
His heart dies in its disguise
But very few have heard its sighs
Or its drawn out goodbye.

Affairs of the heart
But affairs here wouldn’t be smart
Her stares rip him apart
As she dares him to follow his heart
But he cant he won’t
His heart says yeah his brain says don’t
His heart suffers
But he never utters
For his utters would cause more suffer
But his feelings are growing stronger
So the silence is getting tougher
She’s a looker he can’t deny
But if he took her
That wouldn’t be the reason why
Never sought his eye
But caught his eye
Now he feels he ought to try
But the door remains shut
So he remains put
Because the bond is to big to break
There is way to much at stake
He thinks of soul mate
Then the possible heart ache
He wants to clean his slate
Before it’s too late
This could be his big break
Or his biggest mistake
So he’s lying in wait
Relying in fate
He’s trying to give space
What’s meant to be will take place
He needs to show composure self control
But love is taking its toll
Leaving a gaping hole
In his aching soul
But he can’t control his wishing
So he’s wishing he was in poll position
If he could return to the start
Maybe in turn the burn would leave his heart.

He wants something he can’t touch
He craves it so much
A fool as such
He’s not listening to his heart
Too afraid of the part
That it may play
It could create dismay
He doesn’t want to throw away
The friend he has today
So he refuses to say
Puts his feelings on lay away
Remains quiet
Will they buy it
For there is a bigger purpose
Somethings are never meant to surface
Doesn’t even know if it would be worth it
Whether she could be unearthed
Whether she could be taken away
Its much too hard to say
She’s making his mind play
He needs to keep them thoughts at bay
He slates himself
Berates himself
He hates himself
But he can’t escape himself
He cant change how he feels
He prays at night he kneels
Curses this big spinning wheel
And the cards that life can deal
As he contemplates the steal
He excavates how he feels
Which elevates the deal
To a higher pedestal
His happiness at stake
He lays it all out on a plate
Tells her first, then tells his mate
Repents the pain but it’s too late
He’s opened the gates of love and hate
The two men have torn her
She choose the new or keep the former
The ball lies heavy in her corner.
