- Alcoholic - The lion roars



                                          He has not
                                          longer his own will
                                          Caught in the lion's caves
                                          dark gray clouds closes sunlight
                                          He wants but can not
                                          nothing to lose,
                                                                 is he a loser?
                                          Thoughts about life
                                                                  worthless
                                          The past, no roses without thorns
                                          A zero
                                          Tomorrow will come
                                          He sits on a bench in the park
                                                                       cold and dirty
                                           a half-full bottle of spirits
                                           This is his life
                                           a day without sunshine
                                           He hears the lions roaring
                                                         trying to block out the sound

    Unless we free ourselves from passions' tyranny, slaves of our passions we remain! An excellent, dramatic and true poem depicting life's many victims! Great work, a social inspiring lesson! A 7!

    I don't know why people like drinking anyway... Do you? A funny line, "Alcohol is the Answer, I don't Remember the Question".

    the many various levels of suffering, when your eyes do see it, some self caused ...perhaps... interesting view here mate...

    Sad when someone solves their problems with alcohol or drugs. Addictions is an evil disease. You have described it well. Warm Smiles, Connie

    very deep. I guess the world would be a nicer place than this if this chronic disease is completely wiped off.Addiction to anything is a disease. Nice theme to ponder about. Love and a hug

    oh Anne-Lise, You've described this well. Such a sad situation.
  1. Date: 5/19/2013 9:29:00 PM

    Every big city has a "skid row" where these unfortunates spend their last days on earth. You have described them well here.
