Enjoy or are addicted to, that is the question <br />Are they the same thing or is one just a deception <br />Are they separated by a chasm which dwarfs the Grand Canyon <br />Or are enjoyment and addiction one and the same companion? <br /> <br />If you fail to distinguish one from the other <br />Then your road ahead will be very hard, brother <br />One is quite simple, consists of only sheer pleasure <br />The other, well, that's much harder to measure <br /> <br />All the grief, the pain, the fear it's put into motion <br />Would fill all of our planet's seas, rivers and oceans <br />'But I enjoy them' you tell me time and again <br />Yet all I see is you wrapped in chains <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2005)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/enjoy-or-are-addicted-to/
