Lira's Lyrics: Your Power Helps Your Throe

By Mike Lira

I went to a party to have a blast
Took some speed to make the night last
I saved my whisky and drank cold beer
Looked around to see who was here
A lot of dudes and chicks around
Whiskey beer and drugs was easily found
There was a crowd in one corner I saw
Sniffing in dope through a straw
Drinking and music was going on
I was hoping the night was never gone
One by one people passed out fast
I thought by taking speed I would last
I used my conscious to do what was right
Walking swiftly away I made my flight
I thought I had better use myself worth
Wishing I had that good thinking from birth
Thinking it over I am sure I will stay home
And find a better place to roam

Mike Lira

Living in a foster home, I wondered about slums, so I ran away. From there and an orphanage. Highschool I finished in a reformatory. I got a dishwashing job and got an AA degree in Early Childhood Education. Intoxicated, I went to 7 treatments. Writing poems, staying sober, I realized I valued my life. My poems may help someone to use common sense and make living worthwhile. Bad situations I had hurt and maintaining my sobriety life is acceptable for myself and people I come in contact with.

I went to a party to have a blast

Took some speed to make the night last

I saved my whisky and drank cold beer

Looked around to see who was here

A lot of dudes and chicks around

Whiskey beer and drugs was easily found

There was a crowd in one corner I saw

Sniffing in dope through a straw

Drinking and music was going on

I was hoping the night was never gone

One by one people passed out fast

I thought by taking speed I would last

I used my conscious to do what was right

Walking swiftly away I made my flight

I thought I had better use myself worth

Wishing I had that good thinking from birth

Thinking it over I am sure I will stay home

And find a better place to roam

Slippery

By being sober I know

Slippery places I will not go

Temptation will always be around

It won’t bother you if sobriety is found
