Deep inside lies a deep dark abyss,
excavations of our predecessors coupled with our own delvings
Long did dark forces toil, creating every nook,
making the gaping raw wide and deep
We attempted futilely to fill the crater,
empty we tried many different means
Aspiring to attain monetary success
we would step out periodically to numb the pain caused by our compulsiveness
The agony would desist as long as our cup was full
This only led to larger more complex dilemmas, the excavation continued
Love was replaced by a physical release,
finding only momentary balm we could never be satisfied
Yet still we looked for creative new ways to heighten the titillation
Always it came to the same fleeting moment of gratification
Becoming dependant upon diversion,
we would often return to our chosen medication
Briefly the pain would dissipate, then it was back,
the hole became immeasurable
The emptiness brought on fear, the pain worsened,
we were in despair
Some of us were then saved,
we were selected as carriers of a divine message
Having been given salvation from our affliction,
we were supplied substance with which we could fill the emptiness inside us
However in us the past was exceedingly strong,
it was so alluring, we were tempted turn back
We took strength from our saviour,
He gave us what we needed to persevere
Our part was and still is to carry His message through example
To keep what we had attained we must give it away,
this is our pact with God
With this opportunity for spiritual healing
our souls are filled with His light we need feel the emptiness of the cavity no more
