Underground

A Mother’s Love

The chemicals hit again
Combining withdrawals

Indicating she was infected
From the advanced heroine

Love’s trust having delved
Trying to save relationship

Discarded without recompense
Like a whore’s need left begging

Cast into poverty among
Liars, thieves, and beggars

She fought against sludge
Clogging conscript arteries

Refusing access or pursuit
Determined they’d overcome

Hell’s damnation unasked for
Would not take children’s blood
