Mother Methadone

Drifting along an empty street
Complexation of a dying leaf
No thoughts, no remorse for our children

Eyes black and soulless
Like a doll's, no cognitive function
Searching the pavement for spent dog ends

Only hearing what she wants to hear
Memories of drugged distortion
Each day by day
Reality slips away
Further from the reach of her nicotine stained fingers

Nobody forced you down this road
It was your choice and yours alone
The court sees no reason for leniency
Sentenced to remain in purgatory

Even if God appeared asking why?
You procrastinate a web of lies
Narcistic denial of any wrongdoing

Scab marks, collapsing veins
Open sores, spoons over flames
Awoken by the scream of the ambulance

Nobody forced you down this road
It was your choice and yours alone
The court sees no reason for leniency
Sentenced to remain in purgatory

You only reap what you have sowed

You only reap what you have sowed

You only reap what you have sowed

You only reap what you have sowed
