The Savior Which Comes in All Flavors

do they have a gatorade for the apocalypse?
do they have a gatorade for global warming?
do they have a gatorade for the upcoming
hurricane season? do they have a gatorade
for if you feel cheated and taken advantage
of by a manipulative father figure? do they have
a gatorade for a dysfunctional family unit you've
been trying to escape from for so damn long?
do they have a gatorade for every long-lost
girlfriend and best friend who has done you
wrong and don't know what you did to deserve
it trying to get closure? do they have a gatorade
for a broken heart and empty soul? do they have
a gatorade for one of those soulless devil telemarketers
who won't stop calling you during dinner on the phone?
do they have a gatorade for a crime of passion after
you're just done stabbing your girlfriend? do they have
a gatorade for psychotic hallucinations a who's who in
who done it? do they have a gatorade to try and dredge
up good and sentimental memories? do they have a
gatorade to try and help you forget it all like that
holy river which runs through the slums of india?
do they have a gatorade for all those horrible
gatorade commercials which rattle and fuck-up
your senses and equilibrium when you least
expect it and are like triggers to your post traumatic
stress disorder storming right out
the television against your own will and volition?
