Your Beautiful (Lethal) Life

Shooting star

With a quicksilver mind,

You deserve to go so far,

Can\'t someone stop you

Before you ruin your soul,

With irreversible harm?

                                                                   

Drinking all day, 

Every single day,

Out of your head on booze,

Is this the life, 

Is this the way,

A gifted child should choose?

                                                                   

Your beautiful lethal life

My friend,

Has sent you around the bend,

Your foolish defiant

Decadent dance

Could soon be at an end.

                                                                   

But you don\'t care

Do you, shooting star?

As you drift in your blissful dream.
