An educated mind
Thrown away when
Discovering something new.
The words of his peers sink in
Like an elephant to quicksand.
He is hopeless. He has strewn
Away from what he once was.
He steals, cheats, he'll do whatever
It takes for one more sweet taste.
It is wrong. I offer a hand to help
Make riddance of this addiction.
He refuses
He has gone too far. I've lost him.
Forever.

*I didn't write this poem, as you could see it is written by Cody Bayer. I added it because I really like it and its one I couldn't find online. I found it in a book and I felt like it should be shared and not hidden in the back of a High school library.
