For I’m powerless without it - the mighty strength of Alcohol -<br>That gives me boundless inspiration, while sitting in a toilet stall.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">4. No matter how great the effort, I cannot write a goddamned thing<br>Without my daily meditation with an alcoholic drink.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">5. I drink and I become awakened to all the beauty that’s within<br>Those sparkling ice cubes in my cognac, my vodka, whiskey, rum and gin.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">6. I seek a moral higher ground within my realm of Alcohol, <br>That grants me peace and inner virtues, that I revere and extol.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">7.

It’s when my Atman becomes Brahman, my inner I, the God within, <br>And I begin to feel that oneness with the Eternal Everything.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">12. With every glass of wine and brandy, with every alcoholic drink<br>I change into the Master Poet, like Rumi on an angel’s wing.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0"> August 16,2010</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Alexander+Shaumyan">Alexander Shaumyan</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=341200" data-title="12 Steps of Bad Poets Anonymous de Alexander Shaumyan" data-description="1.
