Strange, how efficiently we kill ourselves.

poetry

They’re drowning in their own
Alcohol
while the rest of us are
watching, screaming
bailing just as quickly as
we can, trying to save a
man,
or two.

But they’re in over their
heads in it,
and none of them can swim,
so, well,
so they’re floundering in
self-prescribed madness,
Drowning.

And there’s only so much
the rest of us can drink.

One thought on “Strange, how efficiently we kill ourselves.

    C’mon, time is money, people! Get drinkin’! We have a national average of deaths per year caused by alcohol to uphold! I want to see half of you lazy scumbags pickled silly by 2200 hours! Remember: if you can taste it, you ain’t wasted!
