Best Addicts Poems


Them, Drug Addicts

It's not hunger for food 
And it makes one a fool 
It's really nothing good 
More like leaving a toddler in a pool 

All victims does panic 
But they're in as if they get a commission 
The actions are so ironic 
Leaving one amazed, on the line of division 

They do monologues 
You really would swear they are mad 
If you hear them doing dialogues 
The topics don't match the news, it's so sad 

They say they steal for a living 
Unfortunately the earth so soon is what they end up leaving

Premium Member Digital Addicts

Cable 
The electronic pipe 
Flowing with bits and bytes
To keep the media ripe 

Got to keep the masses 
Enjoying the show
Keep them blind 
With the digital flow 

That delicious little wire 
That poisonous snake 
Whatever term you like 
The truth can’t be faked

And “what is that?” you might say
Why you’re being programmed in every little way 

You’re being fed a digital soup
To keep you in line
And out of the loop

We are all slaves of the digital code
All to willing 
If I may be so bold 

Baited, hooked and caught 
Consume, spend, consume
Is what were taught 

Click, click, click 
My obedient slave
Fear not
I have what you crave 

The lights 
The sounds 
And discounts you follow 
All designed to keep you empty and hollow

Don’t forget to follow my latest tweet 
It’s the same soul sucking message 
Set to repeat

Do you see a pattern here?
It’s quite clear my dear 

Your worth for the day 
Is what you have available to pay 

Quite a mess I must confess
But then again from this world 
I expected nothing less 

Sad that my expectations are so low 
Then again that’s the goal 
Of the digital flow

Seldom becomes true,
Ends up in destopia!

Philadelphia, Usa

Philadelphia, 
When you enter Philadelphia 
You will think that all the drug lords 
Of the World live in that USA State. 
Millions of drug addicts, 
Streets filling with homeless people 
Due to drug addictions 
And few secret reasons ...
Which could be taken as  serious problem 
Of the USA government to look at first
Than trying to bring Solutions 
To other countries. 

Let us be realists 
And continue to share some problems 
Of different countries for Solutions. 
I feel so sad to see 
how the top World economy country 
Failing its own problems 
And trying to help countries  
With small problems. 
Can we say that some World governments 
Profit more in some big crimes? 
Is this question capture your attention
World  poets? 
It is said," 
Well  Ordered  
Charity 
Begins with yourself." 
It is my concerns 
As I love Americans. 
How happy will I be 
If President Joe Biden 
Sending Vice president Kamala 
To Philadelphia Governor
 And fix  those problems first
Than continue losing Americans taxes
Money in unimportant Africa tours. 
God help thousands of Americans
Homeless and millions of  drug Addicts.

A Word Addicts Rhyme

With so many wonderful words out there
of remarkable rhyming quality,
like harbinger, extraordinare’,
recompense, and soliloquy, 
I find it hard to make a choice
betwixt effervescent and supine.
As to which of these appease me most
when I prepare to pen a rhyme.

Suddenly I’ll hear the call,
“Why must you have to choose,
one single word from among them all,
With so many great words to use?”
Divine bovine! What a fantastic idea!
an awesomely somniferous notion!
Somewhere out there could there really be a
Way to use all and not stir a commotion?

The tempter entices “go on grab a few
From this syllabically succulent fare
Blend them together like a pot of word stew
Just make sure they are each one quite rare.”
Consequently orates my old nemesis,
this word addicts worst foe to the pen.
Oh dear, what the heck! With an addiction like this,
I can’t wait to start over again!


Winning With Addictions

I
Don't quit. You will win
Alcoholics Anonymous includes God
The lesson: You have a spirit key
That can take you to victory
Never give in: be it good or dark, addiction
Jesus for me, demoted love as emotion
II
Love is action, a verb
Not Conquest, Souvenir, Trophy to brag
On Facebook, social media, & kick to the kerb
The one you took pictures with: proof
You have what it takes to make IT luv U
So emotional highs & lows are addictions
Though sometimes abuse, not a crime
But I needed Jesus to help me discern
To make good judgment, hard with loved ones
After years of trying, bible education, power
Came in drops & drips: So, beloved don't quit
The good fight: fight for what's Good. Jesus did

An Addicts Prayer

To the light my soul entrust
The human journey that I must
Partake and find my way
Know where to go, know what to say
Learn from deeds in which I fail
To the Glory of God I hail
From the cross in which I bare
I pray my soul to God with care
Soul with body, not adverse
My disease is not my curse
But the way in which I learn
For, no longer will I yearn
For the outside to come in
Because all I need comes from within

Drink More Tea - Part 2

It’s okay to be nervous
But there’s no need to fight
When colors flow inside of shapes 
You have taken flight
Directions will be pointed 
But you’re flying much too high
Caterpillars may inhale smoke
But eat plants to Butterfly 
Put that in your pocket
It’s still too soon to see
Calm child, your only worry now
Is how to Drink More Tea
It is the glue that binds us all
Like a Milky Way of toads
Not all venoms taste so sweet 
Not all Big Bangs explode
For this place holds a balance
Despite its ever scattering mess
The brightest stars super nova
Within their ego deaths
The implosion of undertow left
Is so dense that it is black
Inside of it light cannot escape
And that’s your beacon back
Now we’ve reached a point
And would you look at that
You’re looking more and more like me
And I a Cheshire Cat
You’re getting so much bigger
And the hang of this place
You’ve eaten the right mushroom pieces
And now you want to race
But before you venture off
And go be on your own
I must forewarn not all that live here
Want this fabric sewn
See while this place’s purpose
Remains to figure out one’s toll
There exist a house of cards
That aims to take control
And if they knew the things I’ve told you
Already I’d be dead
I can still hear the shriek of her voice
Screaming “Off with his head!”
They torture us inside the courtyard
For being who we are
For contemplating philosophy
And expanding minds too far
They’ve found a way to take our treats
And replace them with their tarts
They are boy and girl, but not like us...
The king and queen of hearts
The famous duo and powerful friends
Only want control
You’ll find them at the very bottom
Where demons infect your soul
See, the tarts they manufacture
Once you try you cannot stop
White coated hares recommend them
While their masters sit on top
Once you’ve tasted just a few
For an even smaller amount of time
You can no longer live without them
No matter how many times you try
And once you’re on their hooks
They take away your life
Drug to the courtyard to be judged
More pain, agony, and strife
But it’s at this point you should realize
Before you hear her shout
That I warned you of all this
And have told you the way out
Just reach deep in your pocket
If the situation becomes grotesque
And if you figure it out you’ll know
Why a raven is like a writing desk

Premium Member Quack Addicts

Did you know ducks are known as “quack addicts”
Got a million more, some of which I'm gonna inflict
On my unsuspecting pals
Here on this Soup locale
Don't get all squirrely, you guys are hand picked

Premium Member Being in Love Addicts

some people love being " in love"
are perpetually in love
their cars and houses sing of it

their pets and children
take a back seat as
they are all about this new
fresh never-had-before feeling

They exist and survive solely
on the unique emotion of being in love

Unfortunately, being-in-love stales, and
molds up, and puts itself into
a comfortable state eventually.

When this happens, and it always does,
being-in-love addicts have to
move on - find a new love because it is the
"this is all new and I love it" feeling of being
"in-love" that twirls their heart.

These hunters and gatherers are not yet ready for the "sit around the house next to your best friend, enjoying a big bowl of chili" kind of love. Breaking another's heart, is of no concern, either. They need their "fix".

So they return to the hunt, seeking another who
wants to be "in love". They usually find them too.

An Addicts Lone Thought

Sitting at home, alone in my room,
thinking to self...today, my doom.
A spoon full of crumbs, a spoon full of stuff,
put out my smoke, done took the last puff.
Looking for the right, the so perfect vein,
I'm doing this now, in to much pain.
The shot has been shot, its quickly away,
no dying right now, no dying today.
The next one will happen, know this to be said,
an addicts pleasure, often..more pain, instead.
Thinking to self...tomorrow, my doom,
sitting at home, alone in my room.

Premium Member Oblivion The Addicts Point Of View

The need to escape is truly vast
Usually from memories of the past
Or a hungry need to get away
From harsh happenings of today

It's not so hard to make that choice
When heart pain smothers your silent voice
Others around you sweetly dreaming
While your soul is endlessly screaming

Do you know what it's like to be me?
When your life's been so trouble free
Who are you to be my judge?
Don't give me that self-righteous nudge

I don't need your futile sympathy
Unless you mean to set me free
But you can't understand my mind
And so to me you are totally blind

You judge me as an absolute nutter
When you see me slumped in the gutter
You don't know that it's where I choose
Drugs the only way out of life sick blues

Find me an answer and I will follow
Give a ladder out of slimy hollow
But I know you don't have a way out
And my sanity you'll always doubt

I would rather sink in this noisome hole
Than face a world with spirit not whole
You think the devil has become my friend
But I chose this as a means to an end

An end to the pain you can never understand
And so I could never be a part of your band
You don't want to hear my trumpet blowing
Or the truth that I'm openly showing

You just hide in your shell
And pretend all is well
From troubled people like me
You quickly turn and flee

I give your world an ugly display
So you loathe me being here in your way
Because you can't help but see me here
That instils in you such rageful fear

If only you could understand
Instead of rejection just take my hand
And show me what I'm truly worth
Give me a reason to stay on this earth.

Give me all of one thing, and I’d gladly 
give up all of the others.

Not for me the monotony of variety, 
the trying, the sampling, the dabbling, 
the skimming over surfaces.
Experience is nothing without intensity.

Give me a drowning then, 
in a false god, a love, a cause (any), a bottle, a syringe. 
Depths to sink to
en route to the peaks of rapture. 

Give me freedom from having to make choices,
relief from the responsibility of autonomy,
the solace of surrendering 
to that which demands
humility, piety, the soul’s nudity. 

Obedience is clarity. 

All of life reduced to the totality of me 
and the finality of “it”.

Give me the comfort of wanting all of one thing 
that wants all of me.
