Drug Problem

---------

I had a drug problem when I was young.

I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions, no matter the weather.
I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.
I was drug to the wood shed when I disobeyed by parents.

Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I
do, say, and think.

They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had
this kind of drug problem, America might soon be a better place!
