"Born in a Bar"

by Mason Rodrigue

Alcohol evenings 
and liquored nights
give way to caffeine reveilles 
and nicotine fiending days
So many ways we desecrate our 
sacred weaponized bodies
Destruction of government property
A mockery
Monsters fueled by Monsters
achieving peak performance
Behind dead sunken drunken eyes 
Souls are dormant, mental torment 
Thousand yard stare.....
long time since they could care
Spiritual wear and tear
Drowned in spirits 
Let's hear it
Every November Tenth 
Celebrate being Born in a Bar
Tefelhunden Hellhound Devil Dogs
Looking for the next shot to take
to kill someone for their CAR
