Addiction

"Give it to me,or else I will die" This is the repeating sound Of a body governed by addiction. It stirs up one's mind With an itching desire to be satisfied With the drug; therapeutic or luxurious; The eyes and heart get to a point, When they crave to watch those erotic videos and pictures, And the person feels entrapped in his addiction. The relaxation and calmness That come with consumption are amazing, And one can readily go to bed, Or perform that seemingly hard task. Or be ready to take on the world. The body can lie to itself, And one may live to satisfy that deceitful desire, That the body will breakdown without it. Physiology does its role To maintain a living human alive Without necessarily depending on addiction Which deprives one of peace and imagery And sometimes claims that life. It is hard to let go But just like Paul let go Of persecuting the church, By the grace of God, One can desist from the evil It is then that he will live freely. Through rehabilitation, It is very possible to heal And return to the normal being It is a matter of trusting the process With commitment to recover fully. If all fails, Never let addiction be your master When we are here for you.

Amen, Paul was out to destroy Christ and then received Christ within and new life began, this is true for all of us, all these addictions are people seeking anything in that fight against God they have no knowledge of, for if this life is all one has hope in why not do what you want there's definitely chaos everywhere, only through Christ reborn within does one escape into true, peace,love and joy ,no longer seeking things of this world below but life to gain from above, take care

Take care too. How I wish with the knowledge people had of all these addictions,they could try and stop! How I wish the free power of will,yo do good or wrong could be put to better use! But we leave all to God.
