The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Earth

Ships sail and cities burn
A conquering nation
Spilling ashes in an urn.

Legs kneel and hands pray
A conquering faith
Forgiving sins every day.

Arms embrace and lips touch
A conquering love
Delivering heartbreak in its clutch.

Ground shakes and boulders roll
A conquering Earth
Reminding us who’s truly in control.
