The Addicted Mind Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Rivers of toxic addictions
Wash the shores of his (or her)mind
Diluting his sanity
Replacing his reality
With contaminated thoughts
Poisonous ideas rush in
Into the open space of his subconscious
To hold him captive
Manipulating his senses
Delusions and hallucinations
Pouring into his unhinged mind
Overpowering his defences
He is now in the land of pure madness
Where reality is dead
And unreality is embraced
The illusion is real
Reality is unreal
