Analysis of Temptation
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
Tempted by crack oh what a bad feeling. Has your head reaching to the ceiling. Never get enough keep heading for the door. Once you run out it seems you need more. Living each day that you must have a hit. Never crosses your mind trying to quit. Seems that the drug make each day go by. Pitiful shame makes one want to cry. It happens every day to the young and old. Really is a shame how it's being sold. All over the streets to be spread everywhere. Hopefully there's someone out there who cares. Yes we pray and hope that things will get better. Even after you've read what's in this letter. With God anything is possible and that we know. Just read the bible and it will show.
