Drinking all life away. (12/22/89)
In the city of Temple live
some people who have much to give;
Through their service, which they bear,
from which they seek no rightful heir;
Save let it be from the mirth, a man
who receives from his birth;
The terrible facts of life withheld;
from the men who cannot wield
the spear of truth and rightful living
saving them from much forgiving;
Yes, they have caused their own fall,
through disobedience to the law.
If we could just educate them,
to the harm of medication,
and the other harmful drugs,
(alchohol is one they love),
Then maybe they would be saved
from a trip right to their grave
But today, twice have they,
wise fools they are,
End their lives not to far.
One by rope, another by car,
two forms of murder, suicide,
which almost caused, homicide.
Oh, if these people would only learn,
that it does really burn;
to have someone die so young,
when it should never have been done,
Twenty-one, it is a law,
crafted by wise-ones who saw afar.
Adherence to it would save many
a lives which have been wasted.
Bacause of avoidance
to the law.
of avoidance
to the law.
