THEbAR

The saloon is sometimes called bar
that's true,
A bar to heaven, door to hell,
Whoever named it named it we'll
A bar to manliness and wealth;
A door to want and broken health,
A bar to honor, pride and fame;
A door TO grief and sin and shame.
A bar to home, bar to prayer;
"A door to darkness and despair,
A oar to honored useful life;
A door to senseless brawling strife.
A bar to all that's true and brave;
A door to every drunkard's grave.
A bar to joy that home imparts;
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named it, named it well.
THAT IS WHISKEY.
This poem was written by life con-
Wet in Joliet, Illinois, prison. Clip
