Shake off this evil scene
Whose brick through our front window breaks?
Sending shards from the north and east
I arise to retrieve the note wrapped around by mindless goon
My family are sick with worry getting nought but grief
The drugs scene has invaded since we discovered the weed
Not a situation that can be for any a degree of envy
This vessel that destroys the family soul, no face in envy green
But as a family we’ll shake off this evil scene, cast off its evil tentacles
Why oh why did ‘him upstairs’ cast this plague upon this family
Cleared are the shards from yonder broken pain
Police Constable speaks, yet no comfort does it bring
Tears well up in our eyes, we feel cruelly exposed to this scourge
Drugs test the strength of our love
We have this idea who brings poison to our son’s veins?
I wish the plague upon these suppliers who bring dark times
Oh to see brightness in my wife’s skin tone and stars in her eyes
Sunlight dancing in our hearts and son holding our hands once more
Greenery and flowers to replenish these shattered lands
Until that day faith holds strong against this demon
With God’s help we not have to turn our other cheek.

Hello, Phil
I found your poem written with passion of a true writer! Wonderfully presented however filled with a tone of grief and a sadness of loss something precious. The Auld English not familiar to me but I did enjoy reading.
Thank you again for sharing your heart with others and me!
Warm Regards,
Zuzanna
