Sobriety kicks the shit out of mindless wonders
Sobriety kicks the shit out of mindless wonders
Down trodden shoeless kids on council estates mixed in with drug addicts and whores
A lethal cocktail a combination of innocence with claws
Syringes shine prettily like toys, a childs eye like a magpie just adores
The way the sun shimmers on the shiny gem
2 year olds kick a beer bottle from one to the other
A treacherous game of football
Homes without heating, children huddled together in gangs to keep warm
Looking for paternal love from a pimp 'he beats me, he loves me really'and ' Nothing my Dad didn't do'
Ever seen a brain surgeon raised in poverty? A politician loves to play with words
Make them as shiny as the syringe
Inject you with the lies and venom just to keep him in power
Sad ladies with leather worn faces
Scrimping hard for a bob or two
Faces beaten with crow bars till unrecognisable
For their savings of a pound or two.
This is a life many have never to see
For those trussed out on society's unwanted heap
It cuts and it maims
Is it any wonder
Sobriety kicks the shit out of mindless wonders?
wow, loved this, it's haunting and very political, and i agree, they say its not about where you're from, but ultimately and unjustly, it is.
nice, but when you think about it, not at all

Wow, you have said I write good rants. This is vivid and most excellent. I cannot imagine this not touching anyone who reads it.
Enviornment is the ultimate producer of despair. Sure there will be a few who aspire to greatness and possibly through sheer will power will achieve it, but for most the deck is already stacked. Cruelty, disease, poverty, and instant gratification of percieved needs at any cost will always be the way of life for some. The irony being that those who are privledged sometimes like to play with the fires, but can always find a bandage when they burn.
