ADDICTION
*(Hitler invented a form of meth in WWII so his soldiers would stay awake and fight longer.)
Unborn
Unheard
Unwelcome
He comes,
in an earthquake of splendor;
"Evil Thief of Forever".
Controller of direction
for all of the woes-
an individual can imagine.
He patiently slows.
In a mask-
In a castle-
Guiding light-
He persuades:
- the naive to follow
- and the old to obey.
Whichever outfit imagined,
as a prince or as a moon;
he can do it to destroy me
if I allow Him to.
*
A man - made device
first invented from greed,
was used to enhance a soldiers ability.
From evil it was created.
And for evil it does serve,
dressed in fancy introductions
towards a future undeserved.
Average minds cannot contend
against the grips of true addiction.
The need becomes priority-
then comes the limitation.
We can bathe Him in desperation.
Never mind, just take a pill.
We can feed our aggravation
yet, be aggravated still.
Our drug can be a magnificent dream,
falsely distracting the emotions we need,
wrongly attracting our hearts to decay,
eventually throwing our whole life away.
