Meet Mr. & Mrs. Crystal Meth.....

This week, i will complete 2 more classes... to say the least, I have learned a lot.  Some things, I was clueless on.  Each day though, I seemed to pick up another clue! 

 

 

The devastion of drug use is everywhere we look.  While there are some that will use drugs and claim that they can do so without any adverse effects.  The general devastion of substance use is evident in the millions of dollars spent in treatment, court, lost work and time, poor work performance, incarceration and death.  Another consequence of drug use is the effect the use of drugs have on individuals' well-being, their relationships and their families.  I have seen this vicious circle of drug abuse and addiction ruin relationships, take belongings from people, nearly take a person out, and watched several people die from this ugly disease of addiction.  I have taken someone into my home who had been up for 11 straight days and asked for help, once again clueless that a person could sleep for almost 7 days straight.  I have seen what drugs can do to people, it's not pretty.... yet I know there is a better way of life... and I pray that another addict finds that better way of life....

 

 

so, i'd like to share this poem (someone gave it to me)....author unknown

 

 

    

 

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Crystal Meth

 

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,

I take your children and thats just the start.

I'm more valued 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 all around you, in school and in town.

I live with the rich, I live with the poor.

I live just down the street and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not one like you think:

I can be made under the kitchen sink,

in your child's closet, and even out in the woods.

If this scares you to death, then it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's only one you'll 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, you may never break free.

just try me once and i might let you go.

but if you try me twice, then i'll own your soul.

When i posses you, you'll steal and you'll lie.

You'll do what you have to do, just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms

will be worth the pleasures you feel in my arms,

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.

When you see their tears, you must feel sad.

Just forget your morals and how you were raised.

I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from their parents; I take parents from their kids.

 

I turn people from God. I 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 money, your true friend, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take 'till you have no more to give.

When I finish with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me, be warned; this is not a game.

If I'm given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravage your body; I'll control your mind.

I'll own you completely. Your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you when you're lying in bed

and the voices you'll hear from inside your head,

The sweats, the shakes, and the visions you'll see:

I want you to know these things are \gifts from me.

By then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart

That you are now mine and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me (they always do),

but you come to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen. Many times you were told.

but you challenged my power. You chose to be bold.

You could have said no and then walked away.

If you could live that day over now, what would you say?

My power is awesome, as I told you before.

I can take your life and make it so dim and sore.

I'll be your master and you'll be my slave.

I'll even go with you when you go to your grave.

Now that you've met me, what will you do?

Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can show you more misery than words can tell.

Come take my hand, let me lead you to HELL.

 

 

 

If this doesnt make a person think and be bold enough to say NO... i dont know what will....

 

because of HIS AMAZING GRACE......
