Poem Artwork

As people say about that lucky man,

'He was always boozed up
And slept when passed away. . .'
 

The lost revelers still carry on carousing,

While the more determined go ahead

And get back to their valuable trades.

 

It doesn't matter how long a party goes for,

Party-goers always have to face the hangover

And walk of shame upon the morning vanity.
 

Ignoring the haunting melody,

Blaring from the hype device,

I still prefer to be as required sane. . .

 

When the music stops playing and

The sun rises and party ends, at least

One should leave it in one's right mind, I guess.

 

Having a real business that provides

A real value for the common good,

How dare you to fool around in wasting, my friend? . .

You seem to be chastising drunks and fools. Well, I've seen enough of them in this life. They always seem to be a bit melancholy in their need to drink too much and then just pass on and pass out.

Wasting time and fooling around is a luxury, but as with all luxury's, there is a price to be paid. I think they call that the hair of the dog.

I try not to waste a single second, something I have learned with the years. Now, I even write poems in my sleep, careful to jot them down as remembered when I awake. I "do not dare" to waste any more time. Great poem, Alex.
