Deadly Disease [Alcoholism]

by Melissa Martin  
11/09/2011 / Poetry

Son of an alcoholic,
Grandson of a drunkard,
Great-grandson of a bootleg moonshiner.

Beer, light or regular,
Low carbs or no carbs,
Liquid of escapism.

Vodka, Rum, and Gin,
Sensual indulgence in a glass,
Party punch of pleasure.

Whiskey and Bourbon,
Bravado in a bottle,
Elixir of disaster.

Mad Dog wine,
Cheap and potent,
Grapes of wrath.

Cologne or aftershave,
Any brand will do,
Magic potion of venom.

Rubbing alcohol and cherry Kool-Aid,
Mixed in a pitcher,
Concoction of desperation.

Three generations,
Genetics and environment,
Cirrhosis of the liver.

Melissa writes about the God and human connection and condition.
