Alcohol Grin

Give them a sentence,
of one to ten,
then go to the club,
and get your alcohol grin.

Who are you fooling,
your addiction is booze,
don't you think,
people don't have a clue.

We are judged,
by the fruits we bear,
what's missing from your life,
is waiting there.

Drive home drunk,
get stopped on the way,
but no one will punish,
they are not that brave.

People are human,
we all make mistakes,
get them some help,
for goodness sake.

So when you are sitting,
up high in your chair,
remember it could be you,
so try and be fair.

WOW ... awesome write here Christy and Judges like police and doctors all have high rates of alcohol/drug addiction ... maybe because they are called upon to "play God" so much in their professions ... smile ...

Christy - I'm with Karen "Great Title" - You know all my life I bucked them system with all i was and I hated the law and anyone on that side of it but now as I look back at what I was and think about things i had done and the attitude I had - I thank God for all the Drug Programs they have now - I think being a Judge would be a very hard job to say the least - You watch people come and go and come and go and you must decide who really wants help and who is just trying to get out - God Bless, MJ
