Bottled Up
Many times in many words
it has been said - Coke® is Great.
Yet maya is powerful and people forget
the Source From Which They Came.
Once I cut through all allusion
and tasted the Original Celestial Drink.
Then
a flash of light struck
and this revelation came -
Pepsi® is O.K. on occasion
and 7-Up® isn't bad
but Coke® alone
sparkles with bon mot
transcending all notions
of Being or Naught
Coke® is a perfect metaphor
for existence:
Sweet Bubbling Ridiculousness!
