Kingpin's Diary

Art by Jeffrey Huet

I’m gonna re-live my hood dream of becoming a kingpin. Like celebrities, rappers and scientists, promoting drugs benefits.

Encourage youth to become addicts-to gain new experiences, speed up aging and overdose on the wasted talent parents never recovered from.

That’s the wave. Too high for help. Too low to get away. Crime pays if you have the money to make it legal. The business is global, the world wants more zombies, roaming streets, stuck behind screens, filling prisons, and experimental rehab facilities.

It brings attention. Gives me a name and popularity for something other than modeling for anxiety and depression.

Oh' stop being weak. Society created me. I am reincarnated for every generation.

But here's the secret, stop me now or your kids will pay later.

Please. I need you. To try me.
