Pleasure

Why oh why Everything that brings great pleasure Causes disaster, makes one cry Momentary delight, long term pain beyond measure Sugar, alcohol, gambling, cocaine, tobacco Universe has a wicked sense of humor What are we to learn ? We reap what we sow ? Remove that addiction like a tumor Life's joy we seek Relationships, life goal From top of mountain peak I rest my soul

bruce, I feel your pain. MY biggest addiction that is harmful for me is my love of food. I struggle every day of my life not to overeat because my appetite is never satisfied. (I found out this is genetic. I don't have the genetic marker for what makes people feel full when they have actually had all they need). I could probably eat all day long at a slow pace and feel great but I would become fat. I especially love the way you ended this poem. I want HOPE for you, bruce. You can beat addictions
