HEROIN AS A LIFE FORM
It's an ancient science.
Easy equations.
The amount they sell
is formatted to drain
your finances slowly.
And the drug itself numbs you
enough so you can't
comprehend consequence.
It controls the basics-
Dealers giving you the good shit
to start,and once they know
they have you hooked,
they get sloppy with the product.
The amount,the quality,ect...
Once you become a regular
the sellers perform unintentional
power trips.
Subconscious acts of control.
Throwing off the time,
or making you wait.
No matter that this substance is made
by a variety of people.
No matter that it comes from
all around the world
in separate poppy fields.
It's as if it is connected.
A demon tying invisible strings
of sadness,and deception
To each little bundle.
There's no true face to this life form.
We all see it as something else.
Drug addicts are like vampires
craving a new kind of life blood.
Heroin has a mind.
It has a plan.
and we are it's oxygen.

while i do love the `no bullshit` manner of scribe of this poem, and the overall meaning is very heavy and most valid, im sure uve been thru enough to twist this into something mad,sad and hallucinagenic, to me a writer doesnt tell the reader what to think with words, she/he explains with pictures, painted with words.

Powerful,and foreboding...
in the raw, unrefined reality of this piece--the hard, harsh,haunting side of (heroin) addiction.
"Drug addicts are like vampires/craving a new kind of life blood..." a creative summation of the addict's existence ~~ unbearable,continuous cravings....insatiable satisfaction....complete consumption.
Truth in the intensity of your ink,my friend.
