"easy money" searching lost souls for opportunity selling stolen time - tomorrow's happiness killers, born out of convenience teething on shattered lives gnawing on tethers which hold another's future because keeping poison flowing through veins, making another's death easier, is more financially relevant than speaking into the brokenness they enable. addicts would persistently seek their fix without catering but perhaps fewer - without the dealers trafficking their way to money on a road paved in festering bodies they didn't bother trying to save. prison may come to some, on both sides, but change will only grow out of a true desire to be better. every life is worth saving, even the lives of those who sell poison and kill beautiful souls. when a nice person stands on both sides of the poison, still nobody wins. traffickers. bystanders. dealers. enablers. addicts. death. no crime is victimless. but who will be the courageous person to stop the cycle of destruction? the dealers keep on living, their filthy money earned with meager effort to finance someone else's eventual death - they sit at their fancy televisions while a brother claims the remnants of a sister's life because the poison took her Away. leaving shattered memories in her wake. yet, coma doesn't come to the sellers of the poison that killed her, they are free. are they remorseful? would they stop? over a year later, they are still selling. this is what they did with their stolen freedom, after she died, - they continue killing others. even if they all end up in prison, she is still dead. even if they care what they are doing is wrong and stop, she is still dead. shame comes in small boxes, at first, which, gathered up, become a maelstrom. lost in a tangled web woven by complexities of addiction, variances of will-power, no easy answers or solutions. a killer, buying, selling, stolen time - the very cost is life itself "easy money" playing the market game. related piece: "more financially relevant" { original pieces by Chelsea } Comments are closed.
