Problem !
This
drug problem should be
started again......!!
Conversation
by two old fellows:
The
other day, someone at the
co-op read that a
methamphetamine lab had
been found in an old farm
house in the adjoining
county and he asked me a
rhetorical question,
"Why didn't we have
a drug problem when you
and I were growing up,
Milo?
It just
so happened that I had
saved something that had
been e-mailed to me a few
weeks ago. So, I printed
off a copy and took it to
him the next day.
I smiled
when I handed it to him
and said, "I did
have a drug problem when
I wuz a kid growing up on
the farm in southeast
Kansas."
" I
had a drug problem when I
was young:
I was
drug
to church on Sunday
morning.
I was
drug to
church for wedding and
funerals.
I was
drug
to family reunions and
community socials no
matter the weather.
I was
drug
by my ears when I was
disrespectful to adults
and teachers.
I was
also drug
to the woodshed when I
disobeyed my parents or
if I didn't put forth my
best effort in everything
that was asked of me.
I was
drug
out to pull weeds in
mom's garden and flower
beds and cockleburs out
of dad's soybean fields.
Those
drugs
are still in my veins;
and they affect my
behavior in everything I
do, say, and think.
They are
stronger than cocaine,
crack or heroin, and if
today's children had this
kind of drug problem,
America might be a better
place today}}
