Crystal Monster*

Dare not taunt the monster that meth made, it will be your death

a demented warrior you are his enemy he needs no reason why

never initiate conversation with him , he  will take it as a threat

get out of the way or be collateral in his delusional battle

even the best fighters would struggle against the meth monster

robbery rape and murder are the hobbies of such a fiend

our only defense is to never be in the the same place that he is

uncaring and cruel even those that meant something to him are

subject to his meth fueled rampage the psychosis has become him

 

When he gets angry you had better run,run like hell is after you!

He has no impulse control and he kills for sport out of boredom

if you think this is exaggeration ,you wait for him to catch up to you

then you will see what you have been told is very very true

everything about him is foul,temper,hygiene,and personality

 

Take our word for it, he is best avoided at all cost like poison

resist the urge to calm him down he will kill you to feel better

about being a vicious heartless monster ,and laugh as he does it!

So if you find yourself in his presence Do Not make eye contact

he will use it as an excuse to beat you within an inch of your life

As a former user ...

I am alert to such people most where dangerous before they sold their souls to meth.It is an epidemic that not only effects the user but everyone around them. Law enforcement is spread thin and meth manufactures know this. In ink, David

I vote one

Acrostics are too easily demeaned and this is a very dangerous subject. I have had speed psychosis and it is not a subject for word play. I have had friends who suicided, even hurt others under the influence. I would rather have a junkie friend than a meth one, but have neither now. cheers, Jess

I still suffer meth phychosis

I am sorry for your loses if I can keep one person out of the path of such people then this acrostic has served as a mnemonic device...as I feel it more mnemonic then acrostic. The meth problem will get worse before it gets better. "Ice"isophetamine has yet to fully blossom as well... I understand your position on the subject Jess. Regards, David

Dangerous White Trash

I agree Jess it's not a subject to play with BUT this is a really well written acrostic. Powerful and chilling in places. I love the way you have built drama, anger and chaos into this, I could feel and see it all the way. The title grabbed me and fits the theme brilliantly. Clever and skillfully written. :-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

The mnemonic applacation of acrostics

Is easily forgotten as a jolt to those that may cross paths with the monster.Under pressure most become forgetful of the most basic instinctive responses. Sometimes an entrapment for addicts and former uaddicts.There is an end game,it is hard to get there but there is an end game.(thats part of why I'm not to big on anonymous programs,They do serve a purpose to some though.) Sadly the stigma lingers for sometime even after active intervention,followed by recovery,and then restimlulation of the gray brain areas.Most people relapse because the gray area is hungry area is urging for restimulation in absents of the substance .Hobby applied to rehabilation and recovery...perhaps.When I used I took plenty of craft supplies to the user pad and it made a dynamic difference.It was Good to have something to do while coming down. when to know when to stay away is important.How to react in a creepy situation Danger Awareness. Keep someone out of harms way. When a Lady friend said the guy she was with was experimenting with meth I told her he didn't care about her just her car and her ssi money,she asked as if oblivious to what I told her "well does that mean I should leave him?" I told her he is now Dangerous White Trash she went on seeing him and well she lost her visitation rights and may loss her house why because lover boy had his dealer over for a brawl. She got served.

Thank you Jess

I will continue to use every tool in my factotum bag will skill and determination.To accomplish the grip of social decay...the septic tanks are rising figuratively and literally. It will become a struggle to keep above ground.All we can do is count our friends and avoid those who would harm us. I hope for a better case secenario. In ink, David
