Suffering Addiction

Suffering Addiction

How would you have me characterize

Your downward spiraling trip toward Demise

You say you are suffering from addictions

You are in fact suffering from your fictions

Call it what you will, your cravings are illusive

They shift shape and remain inconclusive

Ever wonder why they always want more

Have you ever asked what your cravings are here for?

All cravings are the expression of excessive cognition

Interpreting the object as desirable and subject to separation

There are no objects that are foreign to you, all is at your grasp

All distance is illusion and Oneness is the only truth that will last

So call it crank, call it sex, call it bulimia, call it depression

It is all the result of a mental construct fixation

You think you need him or her, it or that

When the issue is that you actually think it into a fact

The reality of your slavery is founded in one thing

You have but one addiction and that is to suffering

To be without what you want is the bane of your existence

You will not to transcend your thought pattern with persistence

Persistence better employed toward a more worthy and fruitful goal

That adversarial relationship to what is, never can benefit your soul

I would not have you forget that you are in the position of strength

In your hands you hold nothing and everything, more later in greater length
