Sex, booze, drugs

Their ‘music’:
Sex, booze, drugs.
How money can
make one almighty
How money can
bring you everything.
Call this music?

Their social lives:
Sex, booze, drugs
pretty ladies on their laps
they call them chicks.
Flaunting their wealth
to tempt them all.

Their parties:
Sex, booze, drugs,
Rapping on stage,
groping the girls
Spell one word:
Extravagance.

Their fashion:
Sex, booze, drugs.
Branded T-shirts
spelling a dirty word.
Branded caps
showing an obscene finger.
Heavy studded dog tags,
cost peanuts to them

Their houses:
Sex, booze, drugs.
Furniture made of bling blings.
Huge mansions.
Huge egos.

What were you thinking?
Sex, booze and drugs?
Flaunting your wealth?
Is this the correct conception
to show on TV?
To show the children?
Ask yourself.

realise your poems are mostly about the society. I love your repition of "sex, booze drugs" to emphasize the impact and the message of the poem. well done :)
