Junkie Nation

Addictions seem justified
by the addict alone.
Be it thin white lines
or chatting on a cell phone.

Accepted or unaccepted,
the call is the same.
Synapses firing
back in the brain

making little distinction
between needle and game.
A compulsion triggers
and that’s always the same

in all addictions
and their jones alike.
Promoters are the pushers
pushing in a new Reich

to stand a millennium
in a different guise.
At the heart of it’s power
an addiction lies.
