The Gateway?A Poem by Rhian MasonWe're told all about the dangers of illegal substances, but it's the legal ones we need to watch
Schooling needs to be updated
Early 20s are sedated Their lessons on drugs? They're told they're for mugs The gateway isn't weed, doll It's your first sip of alcohol Hilarious snaps Of your child aged 2 With a can in its grasp Having a sip with you There would be outrage If that was a note And a line or 2 Is this the gateway? She's 18 now That sip turned into 18 cans Somehow A few shots and a few sniffs too Surely the blame can't Be put on you But when she sees Family and friends drinking Why is it socially acceptable? She's thinking Disgusting snaps the morning after She went to bed high Vowed to never go out hereafter
