The machines lined the labyrinth in rows Lights, colors and animations all posed In endless arrays of enticing sounds Like children on turning merry-go-rounds
Some people can barely walk or breathe Still coming in and taking seats beneath The neon altars of chance, money and vice All gathered together like a nest of mice
The draw of the elusions and a sum to win Keeping the people in a polarized spin Roundabouts in sheer tidal waves of hope Not aware they are on a slippery slope
Participating for points to keep a status In the all encompassing apparatus Designed to become your new home From its shadows you will not roam
Perceived as a beacon of true light Serving the lonely slaves by night Souls the darkest demons possess Each slap of the buttons causing stress
Endless sounds of screams and elations Winning money to calm the agitations Still they file in like going to church On a never-ending quest and search
Looking for the missing links in their life Placating the unbearable internal strife Never looking up, never seeing the above Their misery resides in a lack of true love
Yes, you described the reality exactly. This is certainly true. We must look up and not look down at our feet. You are right, my dear. Life has indeed become difficult. A person needs to close himself off.
J/R, once you get hooked, there is no release. It's an obsession, like drinking your first beer or smoking your first cigarette. When you realize it has affected your life, relationship, family, and it gets difficult to be free but never IMPOSSIBLE. Playing computer games in a young age keeps these young minds to develop in similar habits and parents don't realize it. They prefer having them entertained to give them free time. I do not say computers are negative, but how they are being exploited is the matter. SM
Thank you all for your comments. Yes, Casino's are the devils work I have witnessed it too much. Addictions, like all addictions are so hard to break you must submit to a higher power and vibration and discipline yourself. Alas, many don't understand that or the world we live in. It was designed to keep you distracted and a slave! Jade
