Alcoholics Unsatisfied

From the moment your born, roll on death.

 

Alcoholics Unsatisfied sit round in a circle,

soft acquitting eyes passively flow in direction

left and right, never direct nor convicting

always looking out but focused on the void inside.

 

The moment you step, doomed to fall

 

Your childhood you say, you weren’t breastfed

Daddy used to drink, its in the blood

the ****** horror that shook the house down

now stands at the door, dormant and waiting

 

From the moment you speak, its already over.

 

The excuses rolled out like sludge about you

And your running on empty, just fumes, exhale

Breathe in shame, disgust and self-loathing

These places always polluted with that smell

 

From the moment you kiss, you know you've lost something

 

Sit, relax, help yourself to a drink

Plastic cups, plastic chairs, plastic coffee

your marrow may be exposed

but rest assured we, the faceless, nameless few, are here to help.

 

From the moment you drink, your released.
