Seek Sobriety Poem by John Sensele

Seek sobriety, seek salvation
Wherever you live
Whatever your reaction to provocation
Empathy always give.

Seek sobriety, seek celebration
When a little happiness you share
Provided clean is your motivation
Empathy always embed in your care.

Seek sobriety, seek sympathy
When your blood boils
Whenever you're invaded by antipathy
And revenge reels reject toils and moils.

Seek sobriety, seek solace
Whenever spiritual sanity undergoes stern tests
And sanity seethes in anger out of place
As your mind multiplies hornets' nests.

Seek sobriety, seek supplication
When mad blood laces your mind
And fake facts meander in multiplication
To turn you both blind and unkind.

Seek sobriety, seek solidarity
While you associate hope and hurt
With hilarity and celerity
As your mind moods nonsense and offence they blurt.

Seek sobriety, seek support
When on the verge of insanity you skate
In the direction of a misfortune fort
As repeatedly you inflict pain on Kate.

Seek sobriety, seek civilization
Whenever your mind retreats into medieval manners
Enmeshed in webs of mis-utilization
As in society's works you throw spanners.

Seek sobriety, seek symbiosis
Whenever your brain berates buddies
And preoccupation prefers psychosis
As you garner gangrene goodies.
