Alcohol

The name of each saloon is bar; the most fitting name by far

A bar to heaven, a door to hell; whoever named it, named it well

A bar to amenities and wealth; a door to want and broken health

A bar to honor, pride, and fame; a door to grief, sin, and shame

A bar to hope a bar to prayer; a door to darkness and despair

A bar to honor and useful life; a door to brawling and sinful strife

A bar to all that's true and brave; a door to every drunkards grave

A bar to joy to home impart; a door to tears and aching heart

A bar to worthy human use; a door to other drugs of abuse

A bar to heaven, a door to hell; He who named it, named it well
