Say, “No! To Drugs!”

“Children, are you doing drugs?”

“You need to say, `NO’ to the nasty thugs.”

~

You do not need to destroy your precious life,

Or cause your family stress and strife.

There are better things in life than drugs.

For one, there is more love within family hugs!

~

There is no need to use needles, sprays, pills or weed.

Grab an enjoyable book, draw, type, help someone in need, read…

Learn, grow strong, and be happy.

Not, drugged up, in trouble, and feeling unhappy.

~

These terrible drugs could ruin your life.

Destroying your brain and your body as if cut by a knife.

You can die from an overdose,

Or you may even become comatose.

~

For if no one is with you or around there,

You may not be alert enough or even aware.

That you are dying from those drugs,

So, say “Yes” to having love and hugs.

~

Be happy, save yourself.

Look out for your own health.

Say, “No” to Drugs!
