An Opioid

A Poem on Hedonism & the artificial “highs” of life

An Opioid

An Opioid,
Peddled by the rich,
Keeping the world dazed.

A High,
Disguised as an Escape,
Shackling the world.

An Ignorant Prisoner,
Tempted by Nirvana,
Keeps them asleep.

Dangling a carrot,
Plundering their lives.
Peddling an opioid.
