We are all addicted
To a drug of our choosing
We condemn it
Like it’s sickening
Totes, injections, swallows, sniffs
Criminalization of victimless actions
The real drug of our destruction
The one that incites no reaction
Conformity to the world’s instruction
Induction into mind numbing group think
Leaving our entire collective being out of sync
So contradictory
As we find ourselves we lose ourselves in work
In friends, in familiarity
It shelters us from our fears
Shaves off years
From our pursuit of truth
Then wonder why we have so much lost youth
When you still haven’t found the lost you
