about society
O, mother, please put down the needle long enough to hear my cries. Save yourself before it destroys you. You say you're better, but we are all weak when confronted with our uttermost desires. The obsession is a demon, a monster than will lurch and control you with temptation. Don't listen to his lies. O, mother, you scream at me when I tell you I am afraid. Can't you see you're killing yourself with the venom you obtain to escape from the sickness? Do not plunge in to that inviting darkness. You will be trapped with your disease. |

Some great use of imagery, a good concept for a poem, however it is HUGE, you could cut this in half and still have the same impact, it's a great effort, but sometimes you can say more with 2 words than you can with 10. Most people are going to take 1 look at this page of many words and skip it. Your best line was the last line. |
