Jacqueline....... A couple of years ago I had to work on a small project in the centre of Amsterdam ( no not the red light area, sad to say ha,) and had tobe there well before the rush hour, so 6.30am was just.
at the back of this building was an Alley, and there were 3 people sleeping on the floor, later they woke, ( noise from the workers machines,) now they must have only been about the age of 20-25 years old, even tho they had a bad night, they looked really pretty, they look like the girl you would take home to meet your parents type,
And the sad thing was, as soon as they sat up , out came the needles and the little rubber bands, to give them a high for the day, even tho they where pretty, you could see they had started to fall apart, you could see the dark shadows around the eyes, the little shaking of their hands, they where hooked and it was only a matter of time before they would be found dead in some dirty back alley,
We live in a sad time, with AIDS and drugs, and teenagers just killing because they didn't like the way the guy looked at them, or even just for the thrill of it.
But there must be some good out there, somewhere. ( I hope)...John 2000
