The other day,someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse nearby and he asked me a rhetorical question,"Why didnt we have a drug problem when you & I were growing up?"
I replied: I had a drug problem when I was young......
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings & funerals.
I was drug to family reunions & community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to my room when i disobeyed my parents,told a lie,brought home a bad report card,did not speak with respect,spoke badly of the teacher or preacher, or if i didnt do my best in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I even uttered any profane four letter word.
I was drug out to pull weeds out of moms garden.
I was drug to the homes of family,friends,and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard,cut firewood;and,if my parents had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for my kindness, I would have been drug back to my room.
Those drugs are still in my veins.......and they affect my behavior in everything I do,say & think. They are stronger than cocane,crack or heroin;and,if todays kids had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place......
