Black Tar-Miss Heroin
The definition of heroin in The Dictionary Of
Narcotics And Drugs A-Z is as follows:
Heroin-[diacetylmorphine]-A central nervous system
depressant, a morphine derived narcotic drug, highly
addictivve, which produces psychological and physical
dependance. Heroin is made by converting poppy gum

converted to heroin. The poppies grow in Burma,
China, India, Mexico, Thailand, and Turkey.
Heroin comes in the form of powder, similar to

nodding, as well as constipation, loss of appetite
and sex drive, and loss of power to concentrate.

watery eyes [lacrimation] runny nose,
chills and sweating, nausea, vomiting, and even
respitory failure. If abuser overdoses, they are
risking death.
This poem was written by a girl from the Toronto
area. She gave it to a friend to give to the world
for her. A few days later, her "habit" killed her.
So now little man you致e grown tired of
grass,
LSD, goofballs, cocaine and hash.
And someone pretending to be a true
friend,
Says "I値l introduce you to Miss Heroin".
Now honey before you start fooling
with me,
Just let me inform you on how it
will be.
For I will seduce you and make you my slave,
I致e sent men much stronger than you to their graves.
You thought you could never become a disgrace,
And end up addicted to poppy seed waste.
So you値l start inhaling me one afternoon,
You値l take me into your arms very soon.
And once I have entered deep down into your veins,
The crawling will nearly drive you insane.
You値l swindle your mother, and just for a buck,
You値l turn into something vile and corrupt.
You値l mug and you値l steal for my narcotic charm,
And you値l feel contentment when you池e in my arms.
The day that you realize the monster you致e grown,
You値l solemnly swear to leave me alone.
If you think you致e got that mystical knack,
Then sweetie, just try getting me off of your back.
The vomit, the cramps, the guts tied in knots,
The jangling nerves screaming for just one more shot.
The hot chills, cold sweats, withdrawal pains,
Can only be staved by white little grains.
There痴 no other way and there痴 no need to look,
For deep down inside, you know you are hooked.
You値l desperately run to the pushers and then,
You値l welcome me into your arms once again.
And you will return (just as I foretold!!!)
I know that you値l give me your body and soul.
You値l give up your morals, your conscience, your hearts,
And you will be mine, until "Death Do Us Part".
