DRINKING

Drink has drained more blood,

Sold more houses,

Plunged more people into bankruptcy,

Armed more villains,

Slain more children,

Snapped more wedding rings,

Defiled more innocence,

Blinded more eyes,

Twisted more limbs,

Dethroned more reason,

Wrecked more manhood,

Dishonored more womanhood,

Broken more hearts,

Blasted more lives,

Driven more suicide, and

Dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world.
