Rising From Demerits

When he put down the bottle!
When she threw the pills down the drain!
When they quit burning their lungs with nicotine tears from the codeine needed a trick from Houdene !
The moment time froze.

Wait ..... pause.....breath in..... out look up ! The sun is beautiful , the clowds love us... You don't need holy water to be blessed, you don't need a drag to feel alive you need light ,you seek God.

I don't drink !
I don't smoke!
I don't do drugs!
Straight like that, get high on life

Sobriety is a bit boring, but who says a man should have fun?) Well penned, Marley.
