Many People Are Addictive Poem by Francis Duggan

Many People Are Addictive

Rating: 4.5


Many people are addictive in some sort of a way
Some drink alcohol to excess every day
Some due to their addiction to narcotics become involved in crime
That culminates in them serving prison time
Some with a gambling addiction one of the worst addictions of all
Financially bankrupt into disgrace they do fall
They lose their homes and forsaken by their wives and children when financially destroyed
Some of them depressed and broken end their lives in suicide
Many of us have our addictions like our phobias and fears
Some are addicted to nicotine and after smoking for years
Fall into ill health and have to struggle for breath
As they die of lung cancer a slow and painful death
I too am addicted to penning of doggerel rhyme
And i would be in prison if that were a crime.

Watch out! In the crazy times we are living they may declare poetry a subversive crime. Excellent poem on addictions. And poets have the best, They may not be able to feather their nest, But Poetry puts their souls at rest.
