Abstract: Vice


What is a vice?

Anything that squeezes an object into an unnatural position or state.

It’s something that holds us down, or rather, we allow to hold us in place.

Slowly pushing our insides out until we die from the crush of its weight.

And a vice can take many forms, easily available at your local store.

There’s plastic or heavy metal, drugs and porn, voyeurism and gossip.

Anything to keep us distracted from the task of moving forward,

from fighting our fears and shame,

whatever says look at me and not today.

A vice is the thing we do instead of choosing Him.
