A Toast TO The Man by JigsawKillah(m): 3:54pm On Jul 26, 2014
Floor littered with Bottles of stout.
Everybody laughs as a drunkard shouts.
And staggered, and scatters tables.
Held by 2 men, yet he seems too able.
Stronger from the alcohol's clout.
He yelled he must hear from the horse's mouth.
And he must make hay, he must clear the stables.
The facts are scary, let me hear the fables.
.
.
Celebrant sits, today is the day.
Nodding head to the song constantly on replay.
All his life he had been running, like relays.
This party signals an end to the game.
The secret must be kept, the truth must delay.
Love must be jailed, hate must prevail.
Cleanliness delays wealth, dirtiness is the way.
He too had thought otherwise, till he saw evil face to face.
.
.
The drunkard stops shouting, staring blankly.
Nodding his head, closed his nostrils with his dirty hankie.
He could see the accounts without being a staff, transparent banking.
This is the truth? The gods must be angry.
No, there's only one God! These souls must be angry!
He must be warned, they are not happy.
He must retrace his steps now, must make it snappy.
Cos this is where it ends, this is where they axe him.
.
.
He sits and notice the drunk, who doesnt seem invited.
His countenance changed, he wasnt excited.
This drunk, his attention is so divided.
Drunkards love drink, yet this one didnt mind it.
The drunk is coming here, somebody ditch him.
What is he trying to say? Nobody listen!
I have to leave here, i have to be quick.
This drunkard knew the secret, how come he did?
.
.
The secrets are too real, we couldnt just ignore.
Drunks dont just talk, it was a real report.
We beat the celebrant, till the voodoo was dug.
He confessed he would get peace after he drinks our blood.
We fed him his, we gave him his medicine.
He cried that he failed after everything.
His whole family was gone, ours was at hand.
But we had him first, now toast to the man.
