Very Bad Poetry

Welcome to the last refuge for the world's worst poetry.

It's difficult to understand how, in this age of information, poems that merely miss the mark can be tossed into the cold world to fend for themselves, only to whither and be forgotten.

Drugs my wasted years

Robert Hawkins

I kicked drugs cold turkey aboutfive years ago. And that is a hell I would'nt,
wish on any one.
Looking back I refer to those fifteen years as my,
substitute suicide. In no particular order are drugs I used and abused. If some are misspelled I'm truly sorry,
For many are not even around anymore.

Hashish,Marijuana,Plasidil,
Neumbutol,Seconol,Cobarbtol,
(Mex)Mandrax,Qualludes,LSD,
Dexadrine,Dextramphetamines,
Hullcinogenic Mushrooms,
Peyote, Mescaline, Cocaine,
Opium, Booze, Crank, Xanax,
White Cross, Morphine, Soma,
Methamphetamine, Oxicotin,
Fentanyl, Valium, Methadone,
Hydrocodone,Vicodin, Lortabs, Demerol, LSD again,

There are numerous drugs I took but in the fog of those
years I don't remember them all.
But now I do no drugs at all. Some people have genetic
predisposition to abuse drugs.
I never knew my parents.
But I did discover that they were alcoholics.
But I cannot use any excuse.
It was a dumb damn waste.
