Whose brick through our front window breaks?

Sending shards from the north and east

I arise to retrieve the note wrapped around by mindless goon

My family are sick with worry getting nought but grief

The drugs scene has invaded since we discovered the weed

Not a situation that can be for any a degree of envy

This vessel that destroys the family soul, no face in envy green

But as a family we’ll shake off this evil scene, cast off its evil tentacles

Why oh why did ‘him upstairs’ cast this plague upon this family

Cleared are the shards from yonder broken pain 

Police Constable speaks, yet no comfort does it bring

Tears well up in our eyes, we feel cruelly exposed to this scourge

Drugs test the strength of our love

We have this idea who brings poison to our son’s veins?

I wish the plague upon these suppliers who bring dark times

Oh to see brightness in my wife’s skin tone and stars in her eyes

Sunlight dancing in our hearts and son holding our hands once more

Greenery and flowers to replenish these shattered lands

Until that day faith holds strong against this demon

With God’s help we not have to turn our other cheek.
