Opium

Humans live lives governed
by opium smoking and addiction
difference is the type of opium

all grow opium
all trade opium
all love opium

Music is opium
for those who love dancing

Alcohol is opium
for those who love dizzy feelings

Love is opium
for those who love, love

Power is opium
for those who love manipulations

Religion is opium
for those who love heaven

The gun is opium
for those who love war and conflicts

Poetry is opium
for those who love mental obscurity
