DEALS ON WHEELS
Scheming, thieving, scumbag bum
Smack head, crack head, someone’s son
A knife, a life, a dealer’s gun
Only mugs do drugs and call it fun
There’s ‘H’, 'Meow' and rocks of 'Crack'
There’s ‘E’s and ‘Speed’ and ‘Blow’
There’s ‘Browns’ and ‘Blues’, a bag of ‘Smack’
So cool and good to go
Come get your fix, it’s such a must
Steal the money from your Mum
Your Dad’s away and he’s not fussed
With a telly in his Strangeways slum
Like a rat that leaves a sinking ship
Just an addict wanting one more trip
Every night his Mother cries out loud
For the Son that used to make her proud
Scheming, thieving, scumbag bum
Smack head, crack head, someone’s son
A knife, a life, a dealer’s gun
Only mugs do drugs and call it fun

Loved it. Poetry shouldn't just be pretty words put together in a row. There's truth in that piece. Loved it.
