Poem: "Heroin" by Robert McDermott

Heroin
Robert McDermott


Insidious thief

Stealing from family
To get their daily

Injections
Infections

Another overdose
Comes so close

Mother weeps before sleep
Stashes her keep

Heads nodding
Feet plodding

All 3 brothers gone
With needles in their arms

I didn't need a revelation
To resist temptation

No urge
For that scourge
