"Doom Walkers"

  “Doom Walkers”

Their love is strange
evolved,
involved with death,
hand in hand they stroll,
their heart,
needle and spoon,
dressing in,
their best cemetery clothes,
tombstone boots,
below their souls,
they dance,
their hearts out
their favorite tune,
the junkie stroll
they show death to many
others,
they never try to help;
these soulless
satanic brothers,
these doom walkers.

They help you in
just one way,
that is,
to die,
conveniently, quietly,
unnoticed,
they are like leeches
sucking all they can,
if you overdose,
do you think that,
they give a damn?

Be very wary,
should you meet them,
they are not your friends,
death,
their legacy,
left behind,
taking all and more
than you can afford,
collateral,
your life.

We all know
the doom walkers,
their ilk live forever,
their only friend,
heroin,
sacrilege,
their sacrifice,
the used up bodies of,
who they,
called friends
left behind,

please,
I ask you,
please,
please do not misunderstand,
they use people up,
not giving a damn
for their health,
physical or,
spiritual.,

we all know Mr. Doom,
one whose soul is cruelty,
sure as hell,
they quickly
leave the room,
whenever anyone ODs
