The world is moving faster now;
We're on a changing course.
But you have helped me deal with life;
You've been a stable force.

When I have had to follow new directions,
you were there.
When the world was hard on me,
You always seemed to care.

When nothing held together or
Made the slightest bit of sense;
You always helped restore
My inner confidence.

Everyone needs someone
Who's reliable and true.
Through the moments I've endured,
I'm grateful there was you.

thank u T 4 everything x x x

for those who have read my previous blog ( rip junior) you will know that my friend lost her brother after a fatal stab wound to the heart in the early hours of friday last week (2 may). I am  still trying to understand how someone can find it s easy to take anothers life.

Today has shown me that it is not just the growing kinife culture that we should be worried about but also gun culture.

The local news this morning reported of a 26 yr old man in a critical condition in hospital after being shot in the head last night.

I couldnt believe what i was hearing, another act of violence that has left a man fighting for his life. What is happening in this world today?

Then later in the day i get the news....... the man that has been shot is a guy i have known for 17 years.

I havnt seen him for a while so i dont really know what he is involved in but i do know that what has happened is wrong.

This world we live in is so dangerous, if u go on a night out should u have to be worried that when u step out of a club someone is going to plunge a knife into u? or shoot u? no u shouldnt but that is the way this world is turning out.

Stay safe, stay out of any mix up, what else can we do?

Im praying for u my friend and hope they find who done this to u x x xx

I woke this morning to hear on the news that a teenage boy had been fatally stabbed during a street fight in my town centre in the early hours of this morning with another in a critical condition, my first thought was why is knife culture growing so rapidly when all it is doing is causing so much grief and destruction to so many lives? does it prove someting that you can walk up to someone and lunge a knife into them? i cant understand how these people can take a life so easily, some will say'i didnt mean to' but they still left their house tooled up and wiling to use it. The sad thing is if it was one of their family being stabbed i doubt it would change their mind about carying a knife.

I later left my house to go shopping and came face to face with a friend of mine completely distrought and in floods of tears, it was her 17 year old brother that had been murdered.

suddenly the realisation of the whole situation seems so much closer to home, i had never imagined that it could be someone i knew.

What is the world coming to when teenagers feel it nessersary to take each othes lives? is there not enough war going on in the world aready?

REST IN PEACE JUNIOR ( ROBERT ) MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS  X X X

YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED X X X X

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 all around you...in schools and in town.
I live with the rich...I live with the poor...
I live down the street...maybe even next door!
I am made in such ways...you can shoot me or smoke...
I used to be called "cocaine...or coke"
The sound that I make, when you're inhaling my stench...
Is how my name "Crack" came to be...(perfect sense)
My power is awesome; try me, you'll see...
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once, and I may 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'll 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, lungs and nose.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.....
When you see their tears, ...you should feel sad.
But you will forget your morals...and how you were raised.....
I'll be your "conscience"...I'll teach you "my ways".
I'll 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 all alone.
I'll take & 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 YOU 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".....and you'll be my slave...
I'll even go with you...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!!!!

what happened is what i ask myself everyday,

what was she thinking knowing shed be putting her life to waste.

this is my sister and i love her with all my heart,

but doing drugs has only kept us far apart.

i never thought she would end up this way,

it hurts me knowing i cant help her, so all i do is pray,

i pray for her to open her eyes before its to late.

dealing drugs and stealing became her hobby,

i guess she doesnt care if her kids end up without a mummy.

why cant she be the way she was before?

now that was my sister, the one that always loved me more.

she was my best friend, we were always together.

nothing ever kept us apart because we promised we'd be sisters forever.

i guess forever finally came to an end,

she dont love me anymore now, heroin is her new best friend.

i cry everytime something reminds me of my sister,

i feel anger and pain inside knowing i cant help her.

but i wont lose faith,

every night i will pray.

cause i know someday god will show her the way.

so now i put this poem to an end and wish only for the best,

i pray its never my sister who will someday be laid to rest.

If a child lives with criticism

he learns to condemn.

 

If a child lives with ridicule

he learns to be shy.

 

But if a child lives with encouragement

he learns confidence.

 

If a child lives with tolerance

he learns to be patient.

 

If a child lives with praise

he learns to appreciate.

 

If a child lives with fairness

he learns justice.

 

If a child lives with security

he learns to have faith.

 

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship

he learns to find love in the world.

􀁆 We want offenders to have self-worth, so we destroy their self-worth.

􀁆 We want them to be responsible, so we take away all responsibilities.

􀁆 We want them to learn to be part of our community, so we isolate them from our community.

􀁆 We want them to be kind and loving people, so we subject them to hate and cruelty.

􀁆 We want them to quit being the tough guy, so we put them where the tough guy is respected.

􀁆 We want them to stop hanging around losers, so we put all the losers in one state under the same roof.

􀁆 We want them to be positive and constructive, so we degrade them and make them useless.

􀁆 We want them to be trustworthy, so we put them where there is no trust.

􀁆 We want them to be nonviolent, so we put them where there is violence all around them.

􀁆 We want them to quit exploiting us, so we put them where they exploit each other.

􀁆 We want them to take control of their lives, own their problems and stop being a parasite, so we make them totally dependent on us.

My name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short.
I entered this country without a passport.
Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich.
Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.
I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold.
Use me just once and you too will be sold.
I'll make a schoolboy forget his books.
I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks.
I'll take renowned speaker and make a bore.
I'll take a mother and make her a whore.
I'll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach.
I'll make a preacher not want to preach.
I'll take all your rent money and you'll get evicted.
I'll murder your babies or they'll be born addicted.
I'll make you rob and steal and kill.
When you're under my power you have no will.
Remember my friend my name is " Big C ".
If you try me just one time you may never be free.
I've destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero.
I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.
I make shooting and stabbing a common affair.
Once I take charge you won't have a prayer.
Now that you know me what will you do ?
You'll have to decide, It's all up to you.
The day you agree to sit in my saddle.
The decision is one that no one can straddle.
Listen to me, and please listen well.
When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell !!!

So now little man, you've grown tired of grass,
Amphetamines, acid, downers & hash,
Let me introduce you to Lady Heroin...
Well honey before you star fooling with me,
Just let me inform you of how it will be,
I will seduce you and make you my slave,
I've sent much stronger than you to the grave.
You think you could never become a discrace,
and end up addicted to my poppy seed waste.
You'll need lots of money just like you've been told,
'Cos Darling I'm much more expensive than gold.
So you'll start to inhale me one afternoon,
Take me in your arm the beginning of doom,
And once I have entered deep down in your vein,
Your life will never again be the same.
I'm expensive and dangerous, and love to live fast,
That feeling I give you it will never last.
You'll swindle your mother just for a buck,
You'll turn into something vile and corrupt.
You'll rob and you'll steal for my narcotic charms,
And you'll only find peace when I'm there in your arms.
When you realise the monster into which you've grown,
You'll solemly pledge to leave me onlone,
You may think you've got that mystical knack,
Well honey just try getting me off your back,
The vomits, the cramps, your guts tied in knots,
Your trembling nerves screaming for those needed shots,
The hot sweats, the cold chills, the withdrawal pains,
Can only be cured by my little brown grains.
Theres no turning back, theres no need to look,
For deep down inside you know your still hooked.
You've given your morals, your conscience, your heart,
Your mine now forever
TILL DEATH DO US PART!

 

i know its not a nice thing to think about but the effects of heroin abuse reach far beyond the addict,their familys, kids and community. Its a harsh reality but its a lot closer to home than some of us may realise.
