You Have to be Always Drunk

 

Baudelaire had it right I believe
when he wrote
You have to be always drunk
he went on to say
to fully appreciate what you say and do
the drunkenness has to be
he gave us three choices on what
to be drunk on
“wine, poetry or virtue”
virtue?
Don't know how you can be
drunk on virtue
eh . . . drunk . . . methinks old Baudelaire
really meant passion
ah, yes, that's more like it
now I understand how someone can be
drunk on virtue . . . insert passionate here
and it works
whatever we are drunk/passionate about
we need to share it with
our passer byes
heck, if only one out of ten
understand and accepts your passion
all is well
in your corner of the world
spread your message what 'ere it be
start a movement
march like the
passion you have in your heart

yeah, old Baudelaire had it right I believe
when he wrote
You have to be Always drunk(passionate)
