The dependence syndrome

from ‘The Placebo Effect’

Exhilaration of freedom

is fraught

with a heavy hangover.

Then steady

dependence develops.

That is why

I take freedom

in moderate doses.

Author's Note

Being sober means only remaining a slave.

Yeah freedom gets bandied about , what does it mean . Thought provoking write.

[...]

. freedom means different things to different people ... for instance, i am a slave of coffee ... this is a very thought-provoking piece of poetry, monsieur ... makes me wonder about the boundaries of freedom ...

Clever wordage, made clear as the glass it pours into. Such is freedom of thought, much is freedom of action. Wise man.
