A Drink

A DRINK!!!
a drink?
YESSS A DRINK!!
to what?  
EVERYTHING!!!
 To a working Sink!!
And a Roof!!
And there's more!!
 more!??
YESSS!!!!
LET ME THINK!!!!
Let me think Let me think
well? what do you think?
I Think Another DRINK!!!!!
    !!???another drink???!!
YESSS A DRINK!!!
 to what?
EVERYTHING!!!!!!
 everything?
For the Whole Wide World
For Children with Challenging Choices
Explosions-Loud Noises
Exposed to Grown Voices
Screaming for Freedom
For Reasons... So Pointless.
It Kills a Person Inside to Fight
For People they were Forced to Join With
    a drink?
No Thanks.  
Enough for tonight.
Sincerely, 
                   Dissappointed
