Rock Bottom Alcoholism: Heading Homeless Poem by Terence George Craddock
Rock Bottom Alcoholism: Heading Homeless
into it big time
spending every dime
consuming multiple bottles
left stale discarded half finished
drunk deep into pass out mood
wondering where money went
struggling to buy food pay rent
all danger signs rapid decent
into joblessness destitute
into dirt hustle begging
sleeping on streets

A brilliant biography of and for so many. It reminds me of an epitaph I came across some years ago. This verse exposes so effectively so much of the human condition. Brilliant!
I wrote the poem 'Alcoholism Has Many Rock Bottoms', inspired by my reply to a comment on my poem 'Rock Bottom Alcoholism: Heading Homeless', made by the poet M.J. Lemon and dedicated to M.J. Lemon and all who wish to escape alcoholism, or aid people in escaping alcoholism.
in alcoholism there are as many rock bottoms as there are seemingly limitless types of acholic drinks, with an infinity of measured concentrations mixes intoxicating pack colours brand bottles, consumed with poison additives of choice or compulsive, alcoholics drown in liquid dissolved oblivion
