I'd rather be a raisin than a grape
With no juice or sweetness
Desolate of hydration
Dried via sun
Wrinkled and battered
Has endured strife
Became bitter over time
But I'd rather be wine than a raisin
Potent and strong
Powerful in simplistic form
Living only to intoxicate those who consume me
For so naturally time absorbs life
Making one **** with age
Dry from existence
Then robust through struggle
I'd rather be a raisin than a grape, but I'd rather be wine than a raisin.

I'd rather be a raisin than a grape
With no juice or sweetness
Desolate of hydration
Dried via sun
Wrinkled and battered
Has endured strife
Became bitter over time
But I'd rather be wine than a raisin
Potent and strong
Powerful in simplistic form
Living only to intoxicate those who consume me
For so naturally time absorbs life
Making one **** with age
Dry from existence
Then robust through struggle
I'd rather be a raisin than a grape, but I'd rather be wine than a raisin.
