You are Martin Luther Kings "dream"
You are John Lennon's "imagine"
you are Steve Biko's "consciousness"

You are a little kids Santa Claus and Tooth Fairy
You are the heroin addicts hypodermic heaven

but most of all you are Nina Simone's "fever'
because baby you make me hot...

Comment are more then welcome thanks.

This is really strange, because I swear I commented on this and Karma petit....anyhoo, I like the juxtaposition here of political, child-like, musical and drug images. It does give a sense that love is a complicated and many-splendored thing. I'm curious...does the title come from the comic strip?

No the title is from the phrase used to decribe the drug addicts quest to aqquire his orignal and most potent high, this especialy reffers to opium users which was very popular in the east hence forth theterm "chasing the dragon".

Don't know about the comic book is it good? I'm very into comic book art?

Because no man can catch a dragon. The dragon catches you.
