Lucky I was never convicted.
I reside in a hallway of rooms of addicts,
Lucky to live here unrestricted.

Lose Your Mind

holes in the brain
are what you get
addicts one and all
pick your poision
just a different hole
in a different place

for a second of pseudo peace
you lose your mind.

Black smoke in the past pollute the sky
Now radio electrical waves the why

Electronic devices quite the abuse
And now to post the poem wi-fi

Dance thou Addicts! Dance thou Alcoholics!

Do all addicts and alcoholics.

All army
Administrants
Add additional
Adrenaline addicts
Assigned always as airborne
Armored assault armies allied 
Against antagonistic attack
As another act asserting action.

Godhead

new misogynistic hatred
springs forth from the altar
worship my deity
breathe the chemical imbalance
and choke on my godhead
you, who are meager
you, who are my servants
you emaciated addicts

Premium Member Old Gooseberry Unveiled

Old Gooseberry gets in when you let your guard down
Handsome, diabolically friendly, he never shows a frown
Temps you with spirits, pills and elixirs to make you high
Some addicts think he is a splendiferous, wonderful guy.

Premium Member Smack Crack Pop a Vein

drug addicts no shame 
                 any excuse once it’s lame 
                  in court   last fix claimed
             back out burgling  on the game 
                    society accepts blame

Premium Member Stormy Lives Lived

Stormy lives lived, their
    whirling vicissitudes
  tease our windy passions
    imagery strewn

  'long corridors else hollowed
    by whores and addicts, why?
  rages the storm, tempting
    deep within, reflects the sky

Premium Member A Fitting Prayer

Someday. In old age.
My well-being will be in the hands of: 
Underpaid cutters and x-addicts 
serial texters and sadists
tide pod eaters-assorted derelicts
the odd minister, 
lost Christmas carolers...

I pray to remain somewhat fit.

Hamburger Happiness

HAMBURGER HAPPINESS while the potatoes watch TV and the addicts frequent movie houses skulls drool and devour hamburger happiness, I lie on my smooth blue silk and contemplate the sorrows of the ocean © Kim van Breda—June 2014

Dad Or Bad

Dad or Bad. 

Broken homes
And 
Lavish dens
On Benefits
Or in a benz
Got enemies
Some call Friends
There's
Stick up kids
Gangs with shivs
And the thug addicts 
Selling drug habits
There's the good
Bad happy and sad
Who am i 
Im now a dad

Premium Member Homework

Someone said
97%  
Former addicts
Return to addiction

He never felt addiction's hand
Then supped with The Source of redemption

Instead

He sided with ''MORE''
More evil surpasses good
More hands toy with fire
More folks welcome slow death

Not so!

Selfish Souls

People with hollow souls 
and selfish goals 
addicts to greed 
adding their need 
all out for themselves 
saying “what about me” 

tortoise shells are not for sharing 
their warmth and protection worn by one 
our need one of love and caring 
our strength to look out for no one

Premium Member Plastic Bottles

drinkers from plastic
diet pepsi addicts hear
twice the micro beads

of fractal plastic
lodged in your body systems
on an average

scale of health diets
and population samples
of FOREIGN OBJECTS

in sampled people
stuff that summons class action
lawsuits for billions

God's Grace

I am lost without God's grace.
As cocaine makes drug addicts happy, 
As war satisfies the appetite of an army,
As meta-sensualism quenches the burnings of a nymphomaniac,
God's grace is the codeine for my soul.
I cannot do without it. 
I will seek God's grace every day until it ferries me to eternity.

The World Is Not Our Friend

The world doesn't stop for us,
It's not our friend.
Pulls us into it's core,
We're addicts left to depend. 

The wind still blows
And rain still dries.
While we lie in hospital beds alone,
Watching our bodies die.

And as death sings us to sleep,
Closer to amends.
The world doesn't like us,
It's not our friend.
