Discourse - “Early Grave”

For every method of self-abuse,
And lives stolen through directed use,
For every cleverly disguised noose,
And victims left unable to choose.

All the problems that you can’t face,
The mistakes that you want to escape,
And the regrets you try to erase,
Still exist at the end of the day.

I hold in contempt,
Profit from addiction.
Targeted from birth,
No concern for those afflicted.

For every loved one I’ve watched decay,
For everything that stands in my way,
For every path to an early grave…
Straight edge - the choice remains.

Corporations are not persons, despite what the law says otherwise. Corporations exist to make more money, and buy politicians/law to protect what they perceive to be perpetual cash cows.

You don’t get perfection, ever. You just decide how good you want something to be, and then you see if you can pay for it.
