liquid

a poem about how lives have been ruined by liquor

liquid



So many lives have you ruined

So many suffered from your dirty tricks

A touch of poison emerging from that hot liquid

And the voyage to cloud nine is snatched by a hissing tornado



When you start playing your foolish games

The very devil springs up from those innocent eyes

The smile, the sparkle, the contentment all but vanish in a snap

You totally change them, your spirit destroys them.



Chained I am from a past so agonizing

And who do you think is the culprit?

Isn’t it you who caused this great wreckage?

Isn’t it you who destroyed them all?



They succumbed to you, all those I love

You tempted them into your lair

You carefully etched in their minds

The very symbol of their doom



Oh, there’s nothing worse than you

Your stink is like that of a rotten pig

Your very appearance is like the devil himself

As you go on advertising the path to total misery



Trying to lure me into your lair, aren’t you?

But no, you can kiss your wicked schemes goodbye

I’m not letting you snare me into your trap

I’m not letting you put an end to a life worth living
