    Alcohol's Promise

    Alcohol's Disastrous Promise

    I have some promises I'll make to you
    If you will do what I want you to do.
    The more that you consume of me
    The more your losses will surely be.
    Here are the promises to you I make
    And I promise the promises never to break.

    I promise to take your money, your home
    And all you can get in the way of a loan.
    I'll take your character, your reputation too
    Your good name, I'll take from you.
    Your friends I'll take from you one day
    Your family from you I'll turn away.
    I'll take your car, I'll take your wealth
    I'll take your job, I'll take your health.
    I'll take your watch, I'll take your chain
    I'll cause you to stay out in the rain.
    I'll take your credit, I'll take your bail
    I'll cause to sleep in a dirty jail.
    I'll cause you regret, remorse and pain
    I'll cause your name to go down in shame.
    I'll bring you misery, I'll bring you woe
    I'll bring you trouble more than you know.
    I'll take your clothes and pawn them too
    The necessities of Life, I'll take from you.
    I'll take from you the days, I'll take from you the years
    I'll double the flow of your bitter tears.
    I'll take your heart, give you one of stone
    I'll cause you to walk through life alone.
    I'll take away your desires to live aright
    Your light of day, I'll turn to night.
    I'll cause you to dishonor your mother and dad
    I'll take away all the pleasure you could have had.
    I'll turn your love for your friends to hate
    Your desire to repent will come to late.
    Your road to despair for you I'll pave
    I'll cause you to fill a premature grave.
    I'll put you in an institution for the insane
    Your normal thinking will go down the drain.
    I'll cause you to murder your very best friend
    I'll trouble your mind to the very end.
    I'll bring you contention, I'll bring you strife
    I'll finish with you by taking your life........

              We should all save this poem and reread it when we romantize the drink

              Everything I need is within me!

                All so true....
