I am a Methor
I am a mother,
astray,
alone.
I am a child absent of home.
I will deliver an interesting ration,
I kill and suffocate your nation.
I give you warning now that you are lost
Your country pays the cost.
There is an act of kindness, though,
A home,
a life,
a center.
Adoption-parent constructed into a renter.
There is joy, there is love,
Perhaps a divine act from above.
I make your life hell
But you would never tell.
Watch the commercials as you fall to dust,
Yes, concede that change is a must.
But, I make you scratch, bite, burn.
Oh, don't worry it will soon be your turn.
My death won't wait,
So why hesitate?
Hold it!
A smile,
a laugh,
a glimmer of hope.
But YOU can send me a saving rope.
I am the money you long for, here you seek,
I am what the greedy keep.
Me,
I give you energy, make you go faster.
Oh, don't mind me, I am only your master.
I am fights in the street
The side you don't want to meet.
I'm let in with your permission
You who don't watch, don't listen.
Lies that creak from a broken face,
I am death,
now you sprint through the race.
You stand by and watch
as I create more loss.
There are things not there that you see,
My effects hand you the key.
I am shoving you off the edge,
No!
Showing you the easy ledge,
To fall into the pit of death.
The peer pressure to give you Meth.
