Addictions Poem by Francis Duggan

Despite what some think of themselves or do say
Many of us human beings are addictive in some sort of a way
Addicted to alcohol, nicotine or drugs or some lesser evil on the body maybe
Of the hold of an addiction it is hard to break free

To add to her or to his millions can be an addiction of the known millionaire
Those without some for of addiction are to say the least rare
Some are addicted to entertainment or to politics or to sport
Though some with extreme addictions can be in need of pschyological support

Many who have a gambling addiction become financially broke
From them their money disappear like a cloud of smoke
In the freshening wind quickly blown from view
Those with such an addiction are not of the few

There are so many people who are addictive inclined
And to overcome your addiction you would need strength of mind
Due to their addictions many people are financially and mentally destroyed
And end their own lives in the act of suicide.
