Badass

There are times you have no choice To infinite unity, the tide comes as determined You are part of the earth, the sun, the moon, the wind and the rain I do not care who you are, I drink of the other fountain Your jaws tighten your smile gets glued Leeches bite to suck blood on your skin, by their own greed // Act like a man of flesh and blood Your card must be played, an ace or a joker Ace has a higher value and joker is a substitute, but this is not poker // An obsession that wins over common sense The power of judgment disappears a power higher than yourself Use your energy to get out of the dark abyss He stamps his brown paper bag and makes his choice Open a bottle of vodka, alcohol's embrace 26.09.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Poem of the Day; 28.09.2017
