Zombies
Slaves to substance.
A contemporary horde.
Dancing like puppets,
Pulled by the strings of a primal need.
The frenzied urge to feed has slowly taken over,
Infected you to the core,
Now its completely claimed your conscious mind.
No other thought enters your head,
There's no room for any other desire.
None but the need to feed your craving
Created by the poison that pumps through your veins.
At first you believed that the disease could be controlled,
Not seeing the way it made you slowly decay.
Now you see how it unravels you to your very core,
But its too late now.
You're too far gone to care.

I had to check out some of your
material and this is good.
It's a short but honest description
of substance abuse.
Good write...Pan

I can also relate as I have personally
dealt with substance abuse and have
had friends that dealt with it.
I can say I'm recovering.
It's been 8 years. I do however still
consume copious amounts of liquor.

Copious amounts of liquor, now that sounds like fun.
My father is a heroin addict.
My vices are cannabis, alcohol and cigarettes, further than that I've seen enough to know that I would not be able to handle it.

Whatever our infection is, sometimes it's less painful to not acknowledge it and let us be consumed by it. I wonder what inspired this dearest. A beautiful piece of art from a beautiful mind

Thank you for your lovely words, they are high praise from my favourite member.
Usually what consumes us is the very thing we refuse to acknowledge.
