Be not forgot

Addiction takes a foothold and collects its next toll
when the user begins defending use of the substance.
The greater the shame, the more the blame," Chapman
suggests to his readers. With "Illusionary Friend" Dan
sends a precautionary message to all naïve, curious and
foolishly potential addicts who believe that
drugs-of-choice are safe enough to avoid addiction. His poetry makes us think
about what we do and our choices.
