Partying in Babylon

To all party goers the moon is high,

It's time to fly;

We hear us sigh,

Don't believe their lie.

It is our world,

That we must build.

Trust in love;

Do not shove,

Live in peace,

To find release.

Don't be distressed,

From the stress,

Of being dressed to impress.

It only causes ego,

That we do fight;

Don't we realize,

This causes the plight?

More pressure we've got,

More fights we get;

People go getting upset.

Being intoxicated takes us down;

Makes people frown.

Thinking about their past,

Fitting ourselves into a caste,

Then at last we strike out;

Even if we're not a lout,

Just what alcohol is all about.

Remember this poem,

Next time we're out;

Don't go drinking out the spout,

That is not what life is for;

We really are worth more.

It makes us fall,

We can't walk tall;

Slowly it brings us to a crawl.

Pull ourselves up,

Don't grab a cup,

Just for a sip;

Later we need a kip,

Think from our hips,

Go causing gyp,

Because we just flip.

Don't we get it,

Or do we forget,

Oops and again;

"Never drinking again!"

Every time,

Or is it just me,

Or do we all see?

Let's learn to adjust,

We know we must;

Unless we are all not fussed?

Let's carry on unjust,

See where it takes us.

We don't care,

We are unaware;

The date is set,

Don't forget,

Even though they may let you,

It is true,

There are few.

Keep pure;

Don't be a bore;

Be part of the cure,

Then the world can ensure,

It will endure.
