A World of Alcoholics
by Poshu Ng ’23
So help you Grog, Have a Drink –Your mother drinks, your brother drinks The bartender delivers the sermon.
Slaughter a Protestant – drink. Sunday comes – day-drink at the bar Find answers to your Inquisition, On your drunken Crusade.
Shotgun your Fireball, you’re fighting for Life, Deny others their Choice, And pit their “god-given right” Against your grog-entrusted fight.
Spare none the Molotov, Sobriety is a sin –Take shots at the Nightclub, No liver left alive.
The Refugees guard their gin, “Indifferent” to their history, Lecture their neighbors, Sipping Jericho’s Breeze.
Herds swear by a higher priority, Drink from the same mortal Tap –An affront to their hypocrisies. No Bouncer in this pub.
When the dust finally settles, And the Tab must be paid, God help –this World of Alcoholics
