Alpha Malice

The Alpha Male's the occupying force here
Pompous and dogmatic from the get go
ENORMOUSLY SELF-CONFIDENT
Transposing AA doctrine to a "therapy" setting
Saying "I'm dandy just for today"
Sobriety being his Higher Power
Not a bad way to live, but please
Don't shove it down this throat
Until tact and diplomacy explode
This is Support Group #17
Pain management, not a kingdom
But no, he'll have his sway
"Offering" his "experience, strength and hope"
Slamming home the weight of his words
Constantly .  interrupting . mine
While I think in terms of a shotgun
But ultimately learn to ignore this potentate
And say a prayer for my own serenity.
