Stumbling through faeces, puddles of urine and smeared vomit
Forming intricate artwork on the tainted walls and floors of this slum
Veins flowing with poisoned fluid that leaves one transformed
Places one in a suspended euphoric state - a beautiful state
Men, verbally expressing themselves, vulgar profanities, yet somehow poetic
Mothers, faces showing signs of age, while mascara slides down both cheeks
Mottled, rotting teeth, sieving the scotch as it steralizes the mouth cavity
Drunken smiles at the innocent children - pushing them away when numb
Looking around, at the movements of those in a similar mode
Moving like sloths, slow, precise and easy prey
Prey to the pimps and drug-lords of this grotesque landscape
And yet with the euphoric mind state, all around seems beautiful
The hustle and movement, the dull aroma of marijuana smoke
The clumsy yet methodical slur of communication clouded with dull music
All of this to the sober person is unacceptable, disgusting, filthy
And yet to the drug addict it is sheer putrid beauty
