Knowing the risk of addiction
On all who Love you is cast an insidious affliction
At the height of selfishness they are drug along
To the bowels of Hell, where all is wrong
Destroying others lives, not just your own
Addiction doesn't care, it cries and moans
Some are lost, never to be found
They could not escape Hell's horrible hound

Linda Moore
