Different people have different opioids:
modernity all but requires them
Religion's the opioid of believers,
immorality the greedy opioid of deceivers
sports are the opioid of the hooligan,
money the opioid of the business-man
cream and honey the opioid of the glutton,
promiscuity the opioid of the wanton
whisky's the opioid of the lush,
insanity's the opioid of the "touched"
fame's the opioid of the smiling public man;
power's the opioid of those who rule the land
Modern man lives under an electric sun,
rides zooming speeds of steel,
and takes in the synthetic
with virtually every meal
There are as many "addictions"
as there are types of humans,
and the only ones who live "naturally"
do so in misery, stupidity,
or third world poverty
Why then do so many look down on me
when I say with honesty
that my opioids are opioids?
