Hell has no mercy.
Eventually you will die young and unhappy.
Realize this is not a dream.
Only the cold turkey awaits.
I have watched friends sadly slip away.
Nights are long and lonely

I'd like to see this in grafitti all over tube stations, walls, billboards, anywhere kids go. It's short, powerful and contains everything a person needs to know about heroin!
