Addicted

I'm addicted  to the sound of 
 Of silence 
Like the wind blowing on cold morning 
 Oho yes !!!
I'm addicted 
If words would define what this is  it wouldbe just  total ??silence ??
.
I'm addicted 

 I'm addicted 
Like a poet addicted 
To metaphors and rhymes  that 
Are line to lyrical chain of never ending thoughts

I'm addicted to the 

Burning coal of nicotine
Till my last dying breath 
I crave to put out 
My fantasy to unfulfilled dreams.

Like a sinner addicted 
To the pleasures of lying. 
I'm addicted to the 
Consoling bottle that 
Can drown me in the sorrows 
of my regrets 


Like a singer addicted 
To notes and symphony
A cheating  husband 
Full of  secrets without regrets. Sucking 
All the honey for his selfish desires.
 Is all am addicted too.

You see am an addict
Ooh!!! Yes 
 
 I'm addicted 

Like the politician addicted 
To embezzlement and lying.
Enriching his fat pocket.

Am like a child addicted 
To to her mothers breast 
To every smile I fear danger. 
As my lips anger the well-fed.

Like the gase attackers (tokota)
I'm 
Addicted to burning and Splitting blood of innocent without rumours 
I am addicted to gospel
That preach love and peace. 
Equality amongst brothers.

Like a prostitute addicted 
To the streets house 
And  potbelly fathers 

I am addicted to repenting
And relenting in worship and 
Prayers, even on this war ship 
Of life slaying biblical verses
Is like playing.

Fascinating look at addiction Owen. Some have addictive personalities and are sadly drawn to corruption and harming themselves and others. Even so-called good addictions can be a problem
