Spice

Footage from You Tube

A man on all fours is seen barking like a dog in the street,

He has difficulty eating, and difficulty with sleep,

Panic attacks, hallucinations and seizures can also occur,

It's reaching epidemic proportions, and is causing a great stir.

Spice is the latest craze, and is a highly dangerous drug,

It's been made illegal, and attracts violence and thugs,

It can cause you to stagger and go red in the face

Police call outs have rocketed, but they can't keep pace.

Mayhem, tragedy, and the cause of a riot at Winston Green,

It has been described by a social worker,worse than any drug she has ever seen,

Its sweeping across major cities, and is used by some homeless, and even some children to,

I wish this was fake news, but I am afraid it is true.

About the Creator

DAVID PRIOR

I write poetry, when the mood takes me. It may be something topical or on occasions I have a request. I take one day at a time, never take anything for granted, and believe that love and laughter make the world a better place.
