The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

On Earth

There is more than the top music hit list 
Despots armed with a lethal poison twist 
Some say come down to their level 
Disguised, distort as the devil 
Or just do nothing if you get my gist.

Very true Harry. If music produced the only hits on earth, the sole missiles we’d all know would be those from Cupid’s bow… Belle

Harry, your poetry is profound and honest. We all have those moments when we feel too befuddled to do what has to be done.

So true. Times when we are too confused to do what must be done.
