The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Spirit

See the depression in the skies of darkness
The heart of man searches for  relief
See the starvation in his eyes
Watch the angry man fight
Man pushes at the world 
He loses every fight in darkness
Light comes only in the mind
I long for my change from this flesh
For surely the spirit can win
It will bring me up into the light 
So that I may fight and win
