Sordid delights found in a bottle
Nature’s cure for things of pain
Started simply to toast one’s pleasure
Jumbled thoughts no longer sane
The liquid seductress elicits emotions
Some hidden deep within the soul
Logic crashes through invisible barriers
Prolonged indulgence extracts a heavy toll
Though sweet or bitter or mixed with care
The alcohol courses freely through your being
Once you surrender and let it take control
For you and others we’ll soon be grieving
