Opiates And Appetites

The hope of the world's end 
and being on the right side of The Hereafter
is surely the oldest and most universal opiate
known to Man, the species that defines addiction
as mere appetite.

Hope on that scale soothes
away the greatest insecurities,
seemingly far more effectively
than drugs, or improving the world
through an honest, but temporary,
aspiration towards humility.
