The following is from a poem written by a young Indian girl addicted to crystal meth, while she was in jail for drug charges. After release she went back to using crystal meth and not long after she was found dead.
[ as printed in a local newspaper, and edited for length, but included an urgent request to please please pray for our children]
"My Name Is Meth"
I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
take your children, and thats just a start....
If you need me, remember I`m easily found,
I live all around you, in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor,
I live down the street and maybe next door.
I`m made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your childs closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.
I have many names, but theres one you know best,
I`m sure you`ve heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome, try me and you`ll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
When I possess you, you`ll steal and you`ll lie,
You do what you have to - just to get high.
The crimes you`ll commit for my narcotic charms,
Will be worth the pleasure you`ll feel in your arms, your lungs, your nose.
You`ll lie to your mother, you`ll steal from your dad,
When you see thier tears, you should feel sad.
But you`ll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I`ll be your conscience, I`ll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids
I take people from God, and separate friends.
I`ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I`ll be with you always - right by your side...
If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I`ll drive you insane.
I`ll ravish your body, I`ll control your mind,
I`ll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I`ll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you`ll hear from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you`ll see,
I want you to know, they`re all gifts from me...
You`ll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you come to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I`ll be your master, you will be my slave,
I`ll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? Its all up to you.
I can bring you more misery, than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
[Please pass this on, if it can prevent just one teen from ever touching
this drug, this young Indian girl will not have died in vain.]
