Substance abuse and narcotic is a problem the world facing and proper action taking by effective and responsible governments against it. But unfortunately as in other cases it is not completely wiped out which is against the progress of humanity and particularly the younger generations and therefore literary movements and poems must invigorate the attempts of government against the abuses of heroin like substances.

Short and to the point. I once knew a young woman who was addicted to heroin. Heroin was her life. All she seemed to care about was how she got her next fix. Not a great way to live.
