the drunk in me asked for a whiskey
the junkie yelled out for some dope
and the sane one in me
he quietly asked for a rope.

    Ouch. In that, I must state the obvious, they hung themself?

    Really good poem though. It is amazing how much you can say with only a few words.

    Thanks! I think he either died of an overdose or alcohol poisoning though, the quiet asking doesn't really go well with the loud addictions that take over ones life. Maybe he got help in time though, you never know.

    Thought provoking in the least. A sightly disconcerting poem examining a truth not usually considered. A wonderful poem!
