Packaged gazes of opiate seduction, consuming and flammable,
feel a spark of zeal, sending fumes into reality,
second hand sensations involuntarily inhaled,
cerebral succubus tobacco elation's fleeting narcotic
craved after making love to phantom whores of greed,
social conscience surgeon's general warning,
written in bureaucratic scriptures nobody reads.
