Use And Abuse Poem by KUNAL SETH

Brothers since biblical times
Witness of many crimes
Constantly fighting for existence
In every dimwit and brilliant mind
Almighty's double edged sword in human's hands
A typical paradox that we fail to understand

The gamble of indulgence
Perpetually being played
The playground is the world
And we think we are playing the game
The one that will take us to our end
It's the indulgence that plays us
And we laughed at our exploits

A thin line separates the two thoughts
It is difficult when it becomes an inculcated habit
And when substance abuse
We cultivate them in a jiffy
Sometimes with a manual falling into nitty-gritty
Repetition is a sin
Can't help when we realize we are too much in

Lives become easy
Lives cease
Use will become abuse with ease
Everyone is a prey
It doesn't spare the rich so the poor never complain
All are part of the same mess
No one is less or more blessed
This is an imperfect perfect relationship of mortals
No escape even for a brief moment
As breathing is abusing the use of air..

To use or abuse, a question only the Gods laughs and we wonder
