Who Are You, Alcohol?

Who are you
that people can't forget about you?
Ruining people's lives,
destroying children's futures ...
Dreams have gone away
Vision that we had before
All gone away because of you
Who are you?

Every day and every night
Families are breaking down
just because of you
And they divorce
just to get you
Whenever there's money
the first thing to think about is you

Can't you just stop it
and think about us?
Think about our future
The dreams and vision we had before

Can't you see
that things go wrong
because people are controlled by you?

People kill each other
because they don't even knew
what they are doing

Who are you for doing that?
Can't you see that we suffer
because of you?
Can't you just stand
and look around
and see what is happening ...
then ask yourself,

WHO REALLY ARE YOU?

  1. Zintle, you have a powerful voice. Brava, for your courageous stand against alcohol, a tricky villain. Your personification of alcohol, and your pleading with it to see its trail of destruction, is brilliant. Keep fighting back against it with your clever words.
