Array ( [sid] => 161845 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To an Addict (english translation) [time] => 2010-08-17 02:07:33 [hometext] => I have re-posted this translated, purely so when read its understandlable. The original is in Doric, a dialect from my hometown in North East Scotland. Words in brackets are purely translation that couldnt be taken out for the flow of the poem. [bodytext] => Its an awful thing, young guy like t di (do),
Just to give themselves, i better heedie (buzz).
You would think that drink, wouldd surely be enough,
Dont be so stupid, there on the hard stuff!

It makes me sick, to sit time after time,
When there all queing, to have a sneaky line.
Passing round, that rolled bank note,
Snort it up their nose, n' down the back of the throat!

It just dont understand it, what is the attraction,
Or what they possibly get, what kind of satisfaction.
They lust after it, just another fix,
Makes them get aggressive, makes them into a D***.

It cant be worth it, the money they pay,
Dreading opening the wallet, that very next day.
All that cash, gone to waste,
Whats it like in the morning, have you still got the taste?

It makes it even harder, when its my mates,
There all falling around, in drugged out states.
One bad line, they might pay the price,
The going fee right now, is with their life! [comments] => 0 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 66 [informant] => sprogy23 [notes] => I have released this version and have deleted the original. Please make sure that next time you have the original deleted first before reposting or, have the original itself edited. This is the forum address: http://www.your-poetry.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5486 This is also explained under FAQ's, Editing or deleting Poetry. Thank you. ~ Moderator_18 8-17-2010 Also make sure you start commenting but this is another issue. You need to be leaving 3 comments for every poem you post. 8-17-2010 FYI: This is a family site and this is the general exhibition section. Make sure make sure you edit out the entire offensive word. IE **** Thank you. [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )
