OPIUM

 

human and existence

wants and cravings 

anguish and strives 

honesty and devilishness

we wake up in shackles everyday 

dogmatic retribution in phases 

our hands tied behind our backs 

religions and doctrines are the opium of people 

 

night falls and we go to sleep 

owls hoot but the forest cares not 

irritations of our minds sprouts conceded hatred 

we are far from purity and divinity 

the doses we are fed with everyday 

our Achilles tendon yells our weaknesses 

our humanity cries out but no one to comfort 

this opium livid without questioning 

we’ve been fed too much nonsense 

traditions and cultures bleeds without care 

foreign religion has been the weapon ever since 

an opium we swallow with hook, line and sinker
