Wakarũgũrũ  started writing poetry that consoles her in her long hard journey with alcohol that speaks to her...

My name is Alcohol

I have killed more men than have fallen in all the wars of the world

I have turned men into Brutes

I have made millions of home miserable

I have transformed many promising youths into hopeless parasites.

I destroy the weak and weaken the strong.

I make the wise men fools and fools to disaster 

The abandoned wives know me well

The hungry children know me well too.

I have worried millions and still continue to run millions more.

I am Strong Alcohol

BE AWARE!!!
