Life or Meth

POEM BY JESSE LANCASTER

I live with the rich
I live with the poor
And there's a good chance
I live right next door

I'm made in a lab
But not like you think
I can be cooked
under a kitchen sink

I have many names
But there's one you know best
I'm certain you've heard it
My name's Crystal Meth

You'll lie to your mother
You'll steal from your dad
But when you see their tears
You won't feel sad

I'll take and I'll take
Till there's no more to give
When I'm finished with you
You'll be lucky to live

Now go and curse me
Under your breath
But what will your choice be now?
Life or Meth?
