OF DRUNKENNESS IN SOCIETY

It was one of this fine holy days(Sunday) as many prefer to call it mainly because of the value placed on the day. I remained behind that particular day to look around and perhaps feel the nature as many thronged worship premises to call unto to their maker.  Notably , there is this neighborhood that is noted and known by its notoriousness when it comes to real life issues.

True to its character, it did not fail to defend its indentity. AS many homesteads prepared for church, one home was busy preparing liquor to sell and merry the drunkards. The day went by, and one by one, they started flocking in and within a short period, the number had swollen and now; instead of taking their hallowed drink silently, they also went ahead and played their music as they drunk away to their fill and pleasure.

You only need to look carefully around your vicinity to know where my concern is comi9ng from. It is clear that majority of people in society today swear by the cup while giving little consideration to the consequences. By this very drink, many misfortunes have happened. Innocent minds have been taken advantage of, immorality committed, adultery has taken place, obscenity discussed in the open and the most disheartening, home and families disintegrated and wrecked.

Irresponsibility spurs at its best among this type of breeds. Lies and careless habits gropes in and people soon take to it and bring their lives on their knees. Alcoholism or rather drunkenness has been in society since time memorial and has been passed from one generation to another inclusive of its associated vices yet many despite seeing all those misdemeanors have failed to pick a lesson and learn from the past experiences. Education in some quarters has been scandalized and put into contempt thereby inhibiting development.

Can this mess be regulated somewhere and be put in check? I don't know when that will happen but what I know for sure is that; beautiful and potential energies are being wasted somewhere in something that lacks relevant value and interests. Priority has been misplaced, as the chief purpose of life is not about alcohol and being uncivilized.
