"Ode To Drink"
  by Bud Edward


thumping so sweet
at morning you greet
memories distorted and now incomplete

today we serve in heaven
last night, ruled we in hell
got there about seven
and stayed until the bell

line too blurred to clearly see
once we've crossed it, sick we'll be

cold, glass chalice, prophets you make
each of them genuinely fake

regret the cost, but not time spent
for it birthed moments perfectly bent

and that word was thought before the night
to be spoken when within red light

lessons traded, stories told
no different these from young to old

though it sobers to watch Earth sink
true men of God are in the drink

ignorance is bliss
and we're oblivious to this

i love ur wordplay... so point point..and i know a lot of people who need to read this.. i agree with scrip..so much irony in this piece.. "though it sobers to watch Earth sink true men of God are in the drink" i loved the line..and its so true we've become oblivious to a lot of things... this being one

Very eloquent way to speak of boozing it up! So true too in many ways. You could probably make anything sound meaningful and beautiful.

Written on 08/28/03. The inspiration for this was a trip to the bar, back in my days of regular drinking.
