The Fangs of the Needle



I know
I am able to
I know
I can be
On my own

My family
Does not want me
My family
They are strangers to me

I know
I can survive
I know
I can do it
I know
I can die
Before noon
Today

My only hope
Is to walk to the corner
Where my home boys are
They are
My real family

My home boys
My friends
They have shown me
How to stick a needle
In my arm
They tell me
It’s my salvation

The guy
Down at corner from me
Tells me to stop
But
He does not understand
He does not know
My friends
On the street
At the corner
They are my blood
