On a seven forty seven
in a different time zone
different customs different rules
and a long way from home
fill a false bottom suitcase
with top chinese powder
but the plane just stopped
and the sirens are getting louder
searched and arrested
the end of your schemes
didn’t plan on getting caught
or that’s how it seemed
for a kilo of smack
you’ve thrown away your life
what about your kids
what about your wife
I suppose they’ll be getting
postcards from hell
each with its own
different story to tell
a cold grey chill
greets a bleak Bangkok dawn
a bullet chipped post
sits on a lonely prison lawn
a guard comes to tell you
your sentence is set
he’s holding a blindfold
and your last cigarette

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

Some people break their lives and their families at their own request, despite the known truth about drugs.
