Borrowed Time -  c. M Taylor 2004

Wake with the dawn
A brand new day.
One more chance to change the world.
Before the daylight fades away.

Watch as the sun… slides across the sky
As the moon rises to greet the night
The stars know the reason why

Chorus
Each day we’re living on Borrowed Time
Never knowing where or when we’ll see the sign
That will lead you where were destined to be
But for now we live on Borrowed Time

Make every moment count
Live full each day,
Who knows where your life will lead you
As the seconds slip away.

Plant seeds of hope
Watch as they grow
Reach for the blooms of wisdom
Your heart will let you know

Chorus

Life or Meth

[UPDATE: When you finish reading this page, visit Meth Blog. the Crystal Meth Curse]

A woman who worked as a 911 operator told me that

whenever someone calls to report a bad smell, they

know there is probably either a dead body or a meth lab.

.

When the police arrive at a house or apartment where

there is a meth lab, if there is something on the stove, they

wait for the fire department to secure the area, because

it can explode. She said sometimes the people in the house

or apartment are already dead because of the fumes.

.

Paramedics have to take any children found at the scene.

Since they’re contaminated by the poisons they’ve been breathing,

they cannot take anything with them, not even clothes or toys.

.

I looked up ingredients for crank and learned that there

are 6 or 7 pounds of toxic waste left over after the creation

of one pound of the drug. The rest of the poisons are for your body.

.

the Crystal Meth Curse

I met a girl, a woman, who was a meth user. She was the daughter of a

neighbor. By the time we met, she had lost her marriage and her three

children. A year after that, she was sleeping on couches and doing what

it took to get drugs. She denied using meth. She said she was only arrested

because someone was cooking it in her house. She said the smell was

strong enough to peel paint off the walls. She injected it.

.

That woman is not the woman in this series of photos. I originally

doubted that they were real, because the devastation was so complete.

But, I have seen people who look like this. There are far too many.
