“Where to start?
Everything cracks and shakes,
The air trembles with similes,
No one world’s better than another;
the earth moans with metaphors.”

Poem:
.
twenty eight days to change a habit
not true if you happen to be a rabbit
for some changes can be very difficult
unless they are brainwashed by a religious cult
an addictive habit is double the trouble
an altered ego cannot get humble
will power is usually the weakest power
the addiction seeks the soul to devour
alcoholics suggest ninety meetings in ninety days
for some it was two years to break through the haze
forget the will power, rely on a Higher Power
see a new life bloom like a flower
promises, promises received when not drinking
learning to recognize the stinking thinking
a life lived and loved one day at a time
reality discovered within the sublime
get out of that rut, think outside of the box
follow the man who walks the walk
be that person God wants you to be
learn to live happy, joyous and free
