pomegranate tears and deep dark fears

War and Drugs (A poem about A LONG WAY GONE, Ishmael Beah's Memoir)

Loving the ecstasy of war

With every pulse of cocaine

Veins

Can’t live with out

White pills all around

No considering death

Paranoia a long way gone

But inside our heads all along

Never ending battles in my brain

Let it rain, let it rain

Cocaine veins

Surrealism lies

Marijuana eyes

Forest green

Hiding teens

War torn brains

Cocaine veins
