Poem

Come ride the white horse, the horse dealer cried

Youll have a good trip; he cruelly lied

The first rides for free; those words did the trick

I rode off on his back but after I was sick.



The next time I saw him I asked after his horse

I wanted to ride, so he said but of course

He charged me a score! Which seemed pretty mean

But I rode off to heaven where Id never been.



When the journey was over, the horse brought me back

To a new hell on earth where I needed more smack.

I went to the horse dealer, I begged him for more

Then after that he came to my door.



The horse ran from heaven to hell with my soul
I was no longer the master, the horse had control.

The dealer looked different, horns, hooves and a tail.

Upon my return a guaranteed sale.



Fixed up once more, to the heavens I rode.

I tried chasing the dragon, it cost me much gold.

White horse plenty, my money had gone

So I stole for my habit though I knew it was wrong.



In prison white horses arent allowed in

I cried in pain, my body grew thin.



So this is my story of the horse riding days

Left with nothing but memories and confusing haze

So if you ride white horses, please ride them well

Because the white horse of heroin will take you to HELL.
