ALLEGORY


 


 


I write


As I once drank


Addicted


Two fisted


Hard core


Without restraint


No need for cutters


To dilute the desired effect


Fiercely defensive


Of my subject


Passionate devotion


Exercising my habit daily


My words shout


For those hard of hearing


Like me


Some recoil


In horror of my obsession


Reaction none the less


As they flee


The impact still hits the mark


My message today


Sole focus on the truth


Saving grace of Jesus Christ


Author of my storied gift


In sober gratitude


I praise His holy name


Giving all of me


To His sacred cause
