Analysis of jack Daniel's River
Jack Daniel’s River 1/19/1985-1/13/17
Only when you drink do you dare expose your feelings
The passage is not so important
Who guessed the portal
Could involve such a somber child
The wind blows so often the smell of its direction
Speeds up your reaction time to a state of indifference
What good does it do when your eyes
Miss the landscapes in the skies
Where will you be when the form of things
That are loose there voice
The smell of safeties scents your will
Unconsciously you move so carefree
Their waters stay tranquil for your eternity
You dare not a whisper of dissent
Collecting your bread you quest for naught
The outcome of quests you’ve been told
Are wanton desires so close to Satan
You dare never that way to stare
