Addiction: Idol Many Worship

Addiction: Idol Many Worship

Addiction-highway that leads

its travelers to nowhere,

hypnotic condition of mind-

master and idol to many souls,

which victims have no control

over.

Under its arms-several people

nestle-

its palms-a deceptive crystal ball-

that gives non-reliable future

prediction,

its feet, though very swift,

always run a lost race.

In its courtyard are myriads,

subjects of its kingdom are

young males and females,

viable economic group,

biologically imbued in

the society.

Addiction neither employs

nor gives hope to its own,

rather it takes tomorrow away

making millions of innocent souls

layabouts and malingerers

in its courtyard;

the wages it pays is time-stealing,

inheritance it bequeaths to progeny-

individual with opaque-mental-

disposition OMD are poverty and

irredeemable ruination.

In the day and at night,

multitude go to this courtyard-

to receive promises,

promises-like dewdrops-

misty and foggy-

like mirage which shall never be.

Addiction, a bizarre condition of

Mind,

a possessive personality,

which exercises unholy power

that turns rational mind to zombie.

So powerful-even-diabolical and

very commanding,

it takes physical control of

those-it rules;

very lethal-for it renders-

mental power of those-

it dominates useless-,

deactivating brain wires and

electrical signals or at best

turns brain automated.

Without question,

addiction demands obedience,

expects loyalty from its disciples,

making religion out of fans;

religion that gravitates

toward perversion and absurdity.

For centuries, produce of its

vineyard are rotten fruits of

depression, hyperactive disorder,

solitude, relationship deficiency,

social, moral, and sexual

behaviors contrary

to reason and decency.

How long will addiction rule

over humankind?

Insofar man has more rum in

drums,

inasmuch as more drugs are on

streets and in neighborhoods,

addiction will continue to rule

as king over mankind.

To the extent,

man build everything

around sex,

much as sex’s traditional

tripartite role of intimacy,

procreation, and pleasure are

replaced by man-defined roles of

sex as a tool, sex as a business,

sex as a power, and a sport;

addiction shall keep permanent

residency with man,

walk tall, control mankind;

more so, torment man with

a horsewhip.
