The Fall
WHITE CRYSTAL DEMON
His reign begins with the flickering of a cigarette lighter.
A blue flame melting crystals in a glass pipe.
With smoke as white as a wedding dove,
He gives them energy and hype.
He makes his victims feel alive,
While destroying them from inside.
His mission is to put the youth in prison,
Make mothers bury their own children.
Turn brothers into owl-eyed monsters,
Who neither sleep nor eat.
Deceitful!
He makes his victims feel invincible.
He widens their eyes, while killing their vision. Keeps them awake, while stealing their dreams.
Its either his victims lose their lives,
Lose their minds or become thugs.
Turn them into vicious creatures,
Monsters willing and capable of raping their own sisters.
Like the vultures of the skies-they wonder the streets.
Looking for anything they can sell for a fix.
They are not just thieves, they are ready to kill.
Sisters are willing to get naked for any man with a wallet.
“ ‘n toile vir ‘n lollie"
A phrase coined for the exchange of the joy of a sister’s thigh for a high.
He is not just puff and pass,
He is not just crystals of ice.
He is a destroyer, a destructor of character and a slayer of dreams.
He is The White Crystal Demon.
