Alcohol, Smoke and Blood

by Ronel L. Alijado

Beer, wine, rhum;

Cigarettes and drugs;

Not mountaintops but pits;

Not white but black.

Guns and knives;

Not lions but rodents;

Fuck, bullshit, asshole;

Not plaques and sweets - poisons.

Theft, rape, murder;

Wounds, and fractures;

Cells, ropes, needles, caskets;

Not beds, not tables, not wings. 

West not east;

Where is the Sun not the bulb?

But that Center.

That natural Light!
