To many of our young people are dieing we write about the evils of war. Afganistan is a bloodbath but still the poppies grow and our children die. what price the piper.

Good theme to be discussed with young people at schools. Easy to understand and the idea well conveyed.

'....Once get hooked, your life is grinned...' Grinned? ? Hardly. But your message is clear enough. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Subroto

This formulkated derivitive of the poppy-opium seed, was a popular mind-distorter for the great Edgar Allan Poe...tho' in the early 1800's...it was taken-in as pure opium....mind-altering, and murderous.Between that, and a host of other vices, the Prince of Macabre died before his 40th Birthday....and here we are almost 200 years later...and so many still don't get the picture....I had a friend who was a Heroin addict for years...long deceased due to a drug-related incident. He loved to write...had much talent...claimed he wrote best while he was tripping...I told him i'd rather not know how to read or write at all, than to have to inject poison into my veins, to write noteworthy prose, or poetry.Well Done, Sulaiman...as usual!

Wow your words hopefully give someone the idea as to not go there. Rhyming stays with you for a while as I hope this poem might stick too.

Sulaiman, this poem is harsh hitting and so truthful. Heroin, such a horrific substance, I lost a friend to it and another to drugs and alcohol and still know of others suffering. You did not mix words here, to the point, a direct approach, I love that. Truly an excellent piece of poetic verse with great meaning.

Sulaiman, it is both a loving and considerate thing to offer a friend a poem towards their healing and perhaps, understanding. You this and THEN SOME! I look forward to reading some of your other works...

I thought this was very well written up until the last three lines... if you had kept to the poetic illusionist description (like the first three lines) this would've been perfect. If you had used beautiful words to describe the phrase of getting hooked and never winning, it would've been a subtle yet present allusion to how NOT beautiful heroin is. To me, poem was great, but the last three lines broke the mood.

to be a hero is hard to achive....but to be natural is easy to do... just be true to yourself... that makes us to be a hero.....you are a hero my friend Sulaiman... for youre true in what you say in the poem... I know and I believe that you are my hero... you have made things to see how to be a hero in our own midst...10/10
