Recently I wrote
about mind-drug
and drug-induced sickness.

Any good medicine has
some side-effects like
light and shadow.

Things have two sides
I know that, but
I sometimes forget it.

I appreciate and enjoy
the good effects and
forget the negative side.

The negative side
which was also made
by God, the Creator,
I should be aware of.

Only to be grateful
for everything
the negative side was made,
so I understand now.

This is the true quality of life,
the awareness I am given.

Praise be to you, Lord!
