Just Another Death by Drugs

How many will die before this stops?

Just Another Death by Drugs

He sat alone, screen glowing bright,

Scrolling through the endless night.

A father, husband, someone’s son—

Now his final post is done.

Pills and powders, silent foes,

Whispers only the addict knows.

The web, a friend that never sleeps,

it offers no hand when one weeps.

No headlines scream, no banners wave,

Just a quiet, early grave.

A life once full, family is now torn apart,

Leaves behind so many grieving hearts.

His family shocked, their world upturned,

A lesson harsh, too late to learn.

They never thought he’d fall so far,

Now they bear a lasting scar.

Just another Death By Drugs.
