The Drunken Sea Poem by Melvina Germain

Travelling the road of horrendous abuse,
after suffering perhaps in the delicate phase of youth.
Carrying that heavy hand though beaten down by officials brutality.

A barrage of pain ones mind sustains
whilst standing in the aftermath of a night well drunk,
blasting words of ridiculous profanity.

Receivers, yes we are a multitude

Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters and friends too,
unfortunately it's our children who suffer greatly,
from a drunken parents brew.

O the temporary superiority rides an abusive train,
trampling the love of a mother in pain.

Little does an offender care, nor compassion redeemed,
a few days good and back to a drunkards regime.

They cry!
O yes… crying a river of pain
Sugar-footin all the way to the valley of disdain
Long tears
Emotion full
Infectious juice brings on that sea
A sober person listens, feeling bad all the while
as the offender stoops in the valley of incapacity.

Day after day all live in fear,
what will happen on the next drunken tear.
Will one jump onto that blackened stage,
where a demon takes over, released from its cage.

Hateful words draw tears,
planting spikes in ones heart.
A loved one feels hate abundantly sound,
such scars dig deep as one slowly departs
looking for a place of peace to rest and sleep.
a place where the alcoholic demon is not found.
The pain that spills from a drunkards tongue
kills ones spirit, burning the inside down.

Alcohol brings out the arrogance and
a drunk refuses to see themselves.
They witness not what they're puttin down!
we know darkness is the place…
where hell is found.

Waking to the blows of reality
with cuffs and chains restraining thee.
When the truth unfolds of deaths brutal scene,
a lifetime changes and a drunk has lost
all respect and dreams.

Don't scream! You drunks,
at the invisible which you can not see,
remember God's love is surrounding thee.
He sent you gifts, more than one or two!
He spoke to you boldly your whole life through.

It is you! who must make the choice
and hear our maker's voice.
God's love flows "The Holy Sea"
He touches all, yes You and Me.
