" KING HEROIN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL ALWAYS WANT..."
THESE TRAGIC WORDS, PART OF A TWISTED REWORDING
OF THE BELOVED 23D PSALM WERE DISCOVERED IN N.C., IN
A CLOSED CAR ALONGSIDE A DEAD HEROIN ADDICT. SHE
WAS 23 YEARS OLD.
HER DEATH WAS RULED A SUICIDE. A HOOK-UP WITH THE
CAR'S EXHAUST HAD SENT CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES FROM
A RUNNING MOTOR INTO THE VEHICLE. HERE'S THE COMPLETE
"PSALM."
" KING HEROIN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL ALWAYS WANT.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN THE GUTTERS.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE TROUBLED WATERS .
HE DESTROYETH MY SOUL.
HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF WICKEDNESS.
YEA, I SHALL WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF POVERTY
AND WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR THOU ,HEROIN, ARE WITH ME.
THY NEEDLE AND CAPSULE COMFORT ME. THOU STRIPPEST
THE TABLE OF GROCERIES IN THE PRESENCE OF MY FAMILY.
THY ROBBEST MY HEAD OF REASON.
"MY CUP OF SORROW RUNNETH OVER. SURELY HEROIN
ADDICTION SHALL STALK ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I
WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE DAMNED FOREVER."
ALSO FOUND IN THE CAR WITH THE DEAD WOMAN WAS
THE WRITTEN MESSAGE:
"JAIL DIDN'T CURE ME. NOR DID HOSPITALIZATION HELP
ME FOR LONG. THE DOCTOR TOLD MY FAMILY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER AND INDEED KINDER, IF THE PERSON WHO GOT ME HOOKED
ON DOPE HAD TAKEN A GUN AND BLOWN MY BRAINS OUT. AND I
WISH TO GOD HE HAD. MY GOD, HOW I WISH IT!"
