WHY?

Why on earth do you insist
That you need me?
You most assuredly do not.
Certainly,
You are not lonely,
After all,
You have a very constant,
Faithful companion,
In the bottle.
You neglect, abuse
And merely tolerate me.
Your reverence,
Respect and awe
Are shown for naught
But the liquid gold,
That flows freely
Into the crystal glass,
That you caress so lovingly
Between your hands,
And savor so appreciatively,
With your lips.
It is this and this alone
That ignites your heart,
Pleases your soul.
I am not even
A consideration
In the scheme of things.

Love does live
Within you,
It is resurrected
From the graves
Of dead bottles,
And those half-filled,
And those unopened,
Yet to be.

My perspective of me is different,
As I look out from within,
Than that of others on the outside,
Trying to look in. ©spirit

These poem is a true symbol about how alcohol
to some people seems like the only answer to life's problems and it's not.I do not drink, i think alcohol makes people look like idiots when they've had too much.Beautiful though!

I'm not a drinker either, I'm thankful that it is not a disease I have been inflicted with. Kind words always appreciated. Thanks.
