WHY ME?
God, Why me?
Why am l like the hyacinth in the river?
Floating without a destination

God, why am I rejected by all?
I am in the dustbin
Made a prostitute rag
Because of unguided
Taking Tramadol and Marijuana
Surviving at the rubbish bin
Nobody wants to identify with me

God, I am a persona non grata
I am a social miscreant
Made useless because of the unguided
Intake of tramadol and mescaline
Drug abuse is a killer disease
It is the worst enemy of our youths

Drug abuse is a cemetery
Taking the lives of youths:
Oghenetega died of mescaline
Layefa slumped and died of excessive diazepam
Many of my staunch friends
Are in an illicium
Because of unguided drug intake
Drug abuse, YOU ARE WORST ENEMY OF YOUTHS!

Drug abuse is a handyman’s noose
It is guillotine harvesting
Our youths in their prime
RUN AWAY FROM IT!
