Devil Water

to tell the truth i have to tell the tale of a dangerous drunk...drowning in devil water...soon to get sunk menacing stares from demons all around...laughing as he stumbles and staggers in the lounge another sip of devil water...slippin deeper into sin he lights a cigarette and smokes his soul to death from open until close he stays shackled and he's chained i have to tell the truth...diminsihed he stays drained devil water brings the pleasure and the pleasure turns to pain riches turn to rags...beautiful babes and harlot honeys by morning turn to hags dressed in bags dark disguises get discovered sweat and tears in love stained sheets...he stays blind and undercover hungover like a cliff now he's searching for a remedy...pop the top on deadly poison...swallow hard his slow disease a slow breeze it turns into a whirlwind...twisting all of his thoughts,hopes,and dreams i have to tell the truth as his spirit starts to scream no way out as devil water starts to rise...sexy smiles turn into sharks and brothers turn into baracudas mind of madness just like a riot...lawless and loveless grab like looters spending all his cash on a healthy ass,and hellacious hooters taking shots like shooters...another bullet in his brain will this be the lucky night? will he go dark and deranged? DUI's like invisible spies...red and blue lights up the night he puts the pedal to the metal like an eagle fast in flight one turns into two and two turns into four and as four turns into eight...now he curses being born mile long skid marks where demons bark...100 miles per hour straight into a ditch...his corpse gets parked way down in the darkest depths now he drinks the devils vomit he gags and chokes and swears that he will never... the devil he just laughs as he pulls another lever anthony_beesley@yahoo.com

You've captured the wretchedness of what drunkeness can do. Excellent write!
