The Drunks and the Lead Pipes

The drunks stumble through the night,
Their minds a blur of alcohol and regret.
They stagger past the lead pipes,
Their bodies oblivious to the danger.

The lead pipes leach into the water,
Poisoning the drunkards and the innocent alike.
The drunks drink the water,
Unaware of the damage it is doing to their bodies.

The lead pipes corrode,
And the water becomes even more toxic.
The drunks drink the water,
And their bodies begin to break down.

The drunks die,
Their bodies poisoned by the lead.
The lead pipes are replaced,
But the damage has been done.

The water is safe now,
But the drunks are gone.
The world is a little bit darker,
A little bit more empty.
******************

That's fucking beautiful.

It is! The water is safe, and the drunks are dead and gone. Who wouldn't find that inspiring?

I'm not sure how it's darker and more empty but the AI has never had a
drunk hit them over the head with a lead pipe. So I'm cutting it some
slack.

The AI is probably a fan of a certain line from Donne.
