I cannot keep from crying reading this... what a loving, deep, touching poem --- it makes me cry dear Kabuski ~ Oh my love to you, to my Bro Wiley John, counting and reeling in the years of sobriety. God surely blessed his soul ~ xoxoxox Connie Elyse

Yes Kabu the old Meths laced with a poison, but I guess when one is past caring. I would have thought the raw spirit would be lethal enough. A sad portrayal of people lost to society, quite poignant

Beautiful sad poem. There is a man in our town, a homeless man who is an alcoholic. It's really tough in the winter. I pray for him, that he would want to be free.

Re: Oops
Had meant the comment for another blogger's poem...One should never leave a computer before making one's blog comments...Anyway, the picture you show us is a sad one and one that I would not wish on anyone.

Grim picture. Grimmer to see it on your street as you get off the
bus and walk to the office. Demon Rum is an apt description. Good work, Kabu!
