HISTORIC POST: The Party Of Dispair
The Party Of Dispair
The barstool bleeders blubber in the beer
the music blaresit hurt deep in the ear
Another day has gone where did it go?
Not so much fun did it go fast or slow?
The day breaks and the fog is thick it hurts the head pounds like the very tide the body is so sore the spirit brake the shame remorse regret and all the guilt
Did I have fun last night
will I today
the barstool buddies are my only friends
we laugh and joke and drink the bottle dry
the wounds are sealed, if only for one day
Despair is mine and booze adds to the pain
I do not know another life to lead
Is there a way to leave this life behind
To walk a road of happiness and light
Creator leads us from the pain and hurt
He heals our wounds and lightens up our hearts
We only need to listen for the sounds of Mother
Earth, wind, leaves and gentle rain
