jack Daniel's River



Jack Daniel’s River 1/19/1985-1/13/17

Only when you drink do you dare expose your feelings

The passage is not so important

Who guessed the portal

Could involve such a somber child

The wind blows so often the smell of its direction

Speeds up your reaction time to a state of indifference

What good does it do when your eyes

Miss the landscapes in the skies

Where will you be when the form of things

That are loose there voice

The smell of safeties scents your will

Unconsciously you move so carefree

Their waters stay tranquil for your eternity

You dare not a whisper of dissent

Collecting your bread you quest for naught

The outcome of quests you’ve been told

Are wanton desires so close to Satan

You dare never that way to stare
