Dear drugs and alcohol,

You make the most successful men your slave. You control millions of minds around the world. When their not on you they dream of you, and when they don’t have you they think of ways to steal you. You’re the reason why so many have lost loved ones. You’re a cause of cancer and major disorders. You’ve taken away peoples voices and their lungs. You’ve deteriorated people’s skin, glazed over their eyes, and robbed them of their youth. Pretended to help people through their problems, and gave false hope. You’ve foiled education and job opportunities, ruined marriages and left children to fend for themselves. You’ve caused violence, helped people fall through the cracks and lead and helped toward depression. You’ve built and helped economies, and gave people jobs. You’ve healed some but killed so many more and made billions of dollars. The world hates you but they can’t live without you.






Love,




Someone who doesn’t love you

True that. I'm anti-drug. If people could control themselves, it might be a different story.

I like the concept, and i agree that drugs and alcohal are to be used with caution, the way you might play with a lighter. But I'm not anti-drug, I think it shouldnt be up to one person whether or not another drinks, smokes or does drugs.

Well, before drugs, cigarettes and alchool existed, we got along very well. In fact, we were much more healthy. The Drug insdustry may make billions, but it's helping no one...

A completely drug free, cigarette free, and alcohol free world? Get real, darling. The drug industry makes billions.

Besides, the withdrawl would kill almost everyone.

It's well written bu I have to disagree with the 'we can't liv without you' part. We can live without drugs, cigarettes or alchool. Humans must stop the production of all this.

We, humans, the world, must be drug free, cigarette free and alchool free.

"Ignore corruption and achieve perfection"- me

I submitted about six pieces of my novel on here, but they are currently pending approval. A very long approval it seems, none of them have been approved yet. But I can send it to you by different means.

My novel needs readers. Anybody interested? It's part drama, thriller, action, and social commentary on our corrupt teen world. It takes place in the near future.
