Poetry: Drugs

by Scarlett de Courcier

Created on: January 17, 2009

Lithium, light they write,

Like it's right, white delight

Striking bright, better tight:

Fine and dandy.




Glamourised in our eyes

The surprise as you rise

Heroine heroised,

Bitter candy.



Pump the pot, dump the dot

Trumped it hot, spatter spot

Sing a lot, dream but not

Craving luncheon.



Skagging sweet sweaty meat

Blisters well under heat

Take a seat, come compete,

Beating truncheon.



Vie d'artiste, or at least

Rising yeast, bubbling beast

Trickling triste down your cheeks,

Ever daring.




Rising up, sup the cup,

Acid drop, fizzle pop,

Shoobie-doo-doobie-wop,

Death to caring.
