Poem Title:
Poem
"Both devil and angel on one's shoulders, scenes from yesteryears, little did the public know that it's when one falls, therein, lies the benefits ... for it's when one rises, gives one meaningful purpose, an eye-catcher, a life-changing event, and so on ...," ... by the Poet. When you have died and know naught why, sitting while you're thinking perhaps a dream, let out a sigh, go back to your drinking Got a bottle in your left hand, a baby in your right you drink the milk, tastes like bourbon, a babe kissed you, "Good night." You looked underneath the table, you see the battery, you then checked all of the cables, but can't find the car keys. You asked the driver parked by you, can he give you a light flicked his Bic, you said, "Forgot, I'm through--smokes, sorry, and good night ..." You looked under the hood again, found a glass of bourbon head up you say, "My dear, sweetheart," she says, "No, it's me, Ben!" Now you have your drinking buddy, and the fun of your life until you know you are woozy, caused thoughts, --just like Lot's wife. You were on top of your bar stool, you slowly lean on Ben but now there's a smell of car fuel, you try to wake your friend. You feel Lot's staff hook round your neck, you feel ground rub 'neath you you look towards the car, a wreck, it explodes from the fuel. You cry out to the dark for Ben, hears voices all around "He is right beside you, your friend." "You are both safe and sound." It's Sunday, two souls in church pews, "Welcome, today's sermon, Sodom and Gomorrah, Good News," "I hope they're naught Mormons." "Why, you have a problem with that?" "They don't allow drinking." "Thought we quit, swept it 'neath the mat." "Say what are you saying?" "We jumped verses? That makes no sense!" "I thought it was implied." "Inferred, there is a difference." "Inferred, implied--denied." "So what, I'm drinking hereafter." "Aha! After--That's it, afterlife--caught in the rafters, or 'twill be the fire pit." "Your choice my friend, want to kick it, live and keep on livin', or, a lifer, --alcoholic, die and keep on dyin'?" "Eh, H-E-double hockey sticks, (HELL) I'll stay for the sermon, Christian-like, ex-alcoholics--they may not be Mormons?"
