The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Watch and Burn

Abuse is rare
unwanted remarks
makes it glimmery
Into the minds, dig deeper
Sell ourselves with homemade love
Marketed by shame
The ones who said they care only exploit
Conflict diamonds are a must 
NO!, not from Sierra 
But the confrontational make-ups are
Adorn with shiny, sparkle like tears
They are tears, wet and streaming down
Look! A new tourist attraction, man-made
Waterfalls
Stand and click! for the moment
Or stand and pose for the event
Either way, plenty will be said
Yet nothing or no one will help
Just stand in awe
A rarity such as this, can only ever be watched
