Can't End Ceaseless Threats Poem by John Sensele

Can't drink away the pain I feel
No matter what cocktail I concoct
Only genuine solutions pain they heal
Or else it's tough reality in dreams soaked.

Effects of alcohol wear out
Mountains of my blues stalking my brain
A little I claim if I feel a boost in clout
Only delusion cos I'm still drenched in strain.

Calling on ancestral spirits an illusion
I sample with gusto
Walking on my head draws more delusion
I call manifesto.

Can't run away from my blues
Whether I smoke hemp or e cigarettes
Ain't helping myself cos I've got no clues
How to bring to an end ceaseless threats.
