2 competitors
100 shots of whiskey each
One by one
They down their glass
Until one of them
Falls on their ***
.
Words get said
Words are slurred
Some words are not even heard

Still they go
One after the other.
Drunken and sad
Shot after shot
Until one passes out

The sun sets over the ocean
Blue
Red
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

The sun sets over the ocean
You can almost hear the hiss
As the sun "touches" the water
Upon the horizon

The sun sets over the ocean
The stars come out
The moon rises
Night has fallen

What is life all about
Has anyone figured it out
It seems to be a confusing mess
Full of pain and distress

I know
I know
I know

Life is what we make of it
Live it full
Don't run away from it
Travel your path
Learn along the way
Learn all you can
Until your dying day

I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
That burning desire to rise above my circumstances
To better myself and those around me

I won't apologize for the fire in my soul
The world can try
But it can't put it out

No matter what the world throws at me
I will burn right through it and move on
That is how hot that fire burns
Once it's lit
Nothing can stand in my way
Nothing can stop me

I run away from my feelings all day
I'm drivin mad by the voice in my head
I can't take this **** all day
My life is going to crash



I try and try to do what I can
But I find my life in the trash again
It seems nothing can go my way

Don't let the wickedness of the world, freeze your heart and soul

Let the warmth of love and compassion melt the coldness and hatred away
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
The trees cry out
They cry sap
For the damage done to the natural world
