SUBOXONE BLUES

An aerial view of Ed Hughes' big house high on a hill














It takes a whole lot of Suboxone
To detox a toxic oxen.”
                          Bob Dylan

Ed Hughes profitably arouses
Subsidized “clients” in halfway houses
Suboxoned by counseling louses
Who then put the bite on House mouses.

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high
Where the floods never flowed,
Up close to the Guy-in-the-Sky.

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high,
Which ain't exactly Tobacco Road,
Way above addicted small fry.

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high
Far from houses that don’t meet code
Where addicts overdose and die.

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high
Where the grass is always mowed
And crack houses are a far cry.

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high
Where his garden’s always hoed
By the best tools money can buy. 

Hughes lives not in a humble abode
But in a big house located on high
Where taxpayers always get snowed
And his PR men always lie. 

                           Robert Forrey, 2014
