The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Grass Is Greener

Violence, drugs, and war
He wakes up and hears the lions roar
Encompassed by this world
His dreams no longer held 
Seeing no way out 
He decides not to move out

No, screams his patient he is supposed to save
No, says his client that would be in his is court case
No, shouts his teammate with whom he’d play
No, whispers his daughter who he should create

In unison they tell him of his better life
The Grass is Greener on the other side
