Where Poppies Grow

Where poppies grow
There lies your foe
Who seeks a harvest
Of destruction.
The youth, his target,
The snare is set
As nations collapse
From within.
He will not fight
Through weapons of might
But slyly aims
At the core.
Young lives are crushed
By opium's brush
Burdened families
Decaying.
Like towers that fall
Whose foundations are all
Of society's nucleus-
They're dying.
The foe's in their blood
From those poppy pods,
Sprouting a nation's
Addiction.
Where poppies grow
There laughs your foe,
An invisible war is won:
Your MORAL EROSION.

what can the righteous do? '
