The Great Benefactor

Monsieur Louis Pasteur 
For depression found a cure.
He improved fermentation
Increasing boozing-activation.

You pour through my soul
Absinthian elixir
My Mother Gaia.

Sunsets of Ruby,
Elysian fields, golden;
Amethyst mountains.

I taste Bing cherry
Concord Grape fermentation
Tangerine orange.

I drink heartily
I pray for supplication
Needing sustenance.

Lust is like the salt of the sea. 
The artificial Ambrosia or Siren's fomented Mead.
Augmenting thirst, the more you drink. 
Forgetting the drink came first. Then came a thirst.
To be unshackled to idols in idle mutiny.
Before the fermentation of idolatry. Figureheads, 
flotsam and shipwrecks on the seven stormy seas....

Atop the calm surface
no truth or indication
of all that is below
caused by great fermentation.

What ever is there hidden
can be seen in real time
eruptions spew to the crater
stench of death is now benign.

We should take heed of everything
below the surface boiling
the bubbles soon will rise
as serpent's scales uncoiling....

The world has indeed been forgetting me
Forgetting me cruelly 
As waste that neither grow nor breathe

It is a fermentation of anger and despair 
As Despairing as it struggles with anger 
At the unknowns in dark 

Gleefully silence compares with the sunshine 
The sunshine does have evils 
Telling that today I cannot forget about...

Bloody mess,

torn dress,

fermentation did the rest,

camera’s flashing, mind’s crashing,

as worries were finally put to rest,

as the missing child was found,

with a shovel through her chest,

and half buried in the ground.

One cop vomited as he grabbed her arm,

which was two feet away from the body,

and in his head rang the insanity alarm,

another cop’s face disfigured by dread,

as they completely unearthed the dead....

I was having a long spell of constipation,
my stomach forgot what’s called motion.
It got busy with lazy fermentation bout,
and chose its own way to let the gas out.

One morn I took the lift down, feeling tense,
with the bloated up belly fostering flatulence,
I couldn’t hold, when I let loose in the elevator, 
I heard someone ask, “where’s the inhalator”?

How to keep microbes from souring alcohol?
Submit them to pasteurization and kill them all!
Want your ale sweet when it is done brewing?
Destroy all the bacteria with heating and cooling!
And when your yeast is done with fermentation,
Use germ theory for vaccinations!
His work led to prevention of anthrax and rabies,
But also the whole field of stereochemistry!
Although being paralyzed probably stunk,
It was probably bearable being always drunk!...

Wales is Grape
 [Enter the 'Wales' Poetry Contest]
[Done to the Methodist Hymn, "How Great Thou Art"] 

Wales to me is ...
Oh he was born, in Glastonbury, England
fermentation of grape juice he hath made
no alcohol shall be used for communion.
Thomas Welch, Methodist minister forbade

Then sings my soul, for peanuts and jelly
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, despite his dentistry 
England is not Wales but not apart.
