I had a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for wedding and funerals. And to my grandparents.
I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather. I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents. Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. Those drugs are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better place.
