Considering that we’re all consumers
At some level we take in and excrete
Within every moment of existence
That does not mean we’re all users
Users consume without the excretion
Without giving back
Taking is all consuming and drives every decision
Leads every avenue to the same dead end
Well all paths lead to death no matter which turn you take
Yet not all of them have to be made up of taking
Taking choices from other people
Taking their time to make sure that every action
Leads to their perceived benefit
To the point of their using becoming addiction
An addiction that is the only thing
That provides them with the positive feedback
The only neural stimuli that feels like pleasure
Dopamine producing abuse of the people around them
Whether doing so to fill their perceived inner hole with
Drugs
Manipulation
Avoidance
Programming themselves to that these things are the goal their brains seek
Anything to fill that high
To bring themselves to that level that can only be achieved by this imaginary state
A construction designed to override judgment and decision-making
No longer are the cries of their children heard
No longer can they feel their knuckles as their fists find flesh
No longer do they taste the blood after they’ve bitten their tongue in convulsion
No longer do they smell their own shit as they die
Adding to reality only pain, fear and death
