The Selfish Drug

in writing •  8 years ago 

Did we snort it in the womb? Maybe even before that, when egg and sperm crashed on a one way trip. Selfish is the evolution drug. We were infected even before we breathed.

Definitely a junkie world. Millions hooked on something just to get through the day. You add the selfish drug and we get a sick reality. Politicians sending the kids to die in stupid wars. Kids signing up to kill as much as they can. They all snorting with the best of intentions.

Priests strung out on the selfish drug. Politicians sniffing nonstop. Social media doing retail for every wounded ego. Selfish on a billboard near you. Infected world. They teach it in school. To be educated is to be at your selfish best. Rape the world for a degree. Kill the climate because you are licensed to drive. Dump toxins in the ocean and the company buys you beachfront property. You wonder about humans.

I came from the womb infected screaming for my first fix. They put me on Facebook and Instagram and I stayed high forever. The future belongs to the selfish. Religion preaches it. Only their god grants the eternal fix. Choose self and live.
