Through Smoking Waves

Contributed by thezenmonkey on Tuesday, 8th May 2012 @ 09:04:04 AM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse

Through smoking waves swirling relentlessly through the stale still air,
Into my parched dry mouth into my constricted windpipe down into the murky depths of my black lungs
Processed dissolving into my pulsing blood pumped through me through every part of me
Toxic tantalising every nerve the breath of life is a cigarette
For without pleasure without habit without excess in our lives we may as well be dead
We naturally crave that which is dangerous to our health, intoxication brings us one step closer to our maker
The course fine powder sharp numbing shooting up to my brain
Instant confidence instant high instant life, instantly I am alive
Switched on, there is no off switch there are no limits
My mind is awake sharp, clear resonant
Every thought is clearer as if the contrast had been turned up, the brightness had been put up to its maximum
We are bright the light shines within us and the bringer of light whispers sweet temptations in our oh so sensitive ears
We do another, the night goes on, we do another and another when its gone we get some more
Then that goes, more, more and more we binge on it
Wash it down with flavoured rum and brightly coloured sweet drinks almost disguised as innocent tasting fruity juices
I smoke another cigarette, I have another drink, I sniff another line my mind is mine
I will stop this time when its gone, or I might get some more and carry on, the choice is mine
The World is Mine!

I like it. The addiction imagery was great. It truly shows how intense it can be and how the mind-set all plays a part. Very nice structure.
I'd like to read more of this kind of writing.
