goraw wrote:My Name is Crystal Meth"

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I take your children, and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold.
... ... The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember, I'm easily found,
I live around you, in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.
I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made next door under a sink.
In your child's closet, and even the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.
***
I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is CRYSTAL METH.
My power is awesome, try me you'll see.
But if you do it, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let YOU go,
But try me twice and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.
You do what you have to just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms.
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.
You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, YOU should feel sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways,
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from GOD, and separate friends.
***
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride.
I'll be with you always right by your side.
You'll give up everything your family, your home,
your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.
I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned, this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That YOU are mine, and we shall not part.
***
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
BUT IT WAS YOU THAT CAME TO ME, NOT I TO YOU.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told.
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have SAID NO, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave.
I'll even go with, when you go to your GRAVE.
***
Now that you have met me, WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to YOU!
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
come take my hand, let me lead you to HELL!!!


Am i correct in saying that poem was written by a recovering addict?

If so, what more evidence do you need about the dangers of drugs....not just this one.
“Think of me like Yoda, but instead of being little and green I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro—I'm Broda!”

Was it not considered trafficing because he didnt cross any state or territory borders? It seems like a pretty light penalty for intensionally transporting drugs on a plane.

I'd say it was blown out of all proportion in the 1st place by the media. Unlike them to sensationalize a story with possible gaol time for cuz

He pleaded guilty to having a pretty substantial amount of drugs up his arse while on a plane. To be honest, I dont think it was really even reported that much. No where near as much as the first 10 times he did something wrong.

The amount he could fit up his bum was probably on for personal use so would have been a lesser charge.

Well that would be why he was on a lesser charge and he excaped trafficing charges.

I reckon Cousins was better too. For sheer gut running and influence on a match Cuzzy couldn't be beat. Up there with Rob Harvey when it comes to the ability to run and compete when the tank was on empty.
