Fentanyl

Cathy Lynn Andrus 1984 (Kingston NY)



I thought you were neat
I thought you were Kean
I never thought you'd be so mean!
I've seen you make husbands give you their wife
Yet I never thought you'd try and take my life!
Seen you make beautiful queens forget their looks
Seen you make school boys forget their books
Seen you make innocent people turn into crock's!
Some call you sleepy some call you well
Truth is if you try this you'll be living in hell!
You'll never know
Will this be the last blow
Will you let this go or become jane doo?
The choice is all in your hand
Will you take a stand and trust there's a much better plan?
