John Barleycorn Poem by jafta maduna

Who am I?
I am john Barleycorn!
The brave and confidential one
The killer of many families
The destroyer and the creator

I am a legal murderer
The one that can turn you against yourself
The one that sees you as a clown
and take you to a circus

I will make you believe that I am a remedy for fear,
while the only thing you inhale from me is malignity.
Those I made my presence available to them
are reluctant to do good cause I have concluded
their journeys with misery and left them with painful hearts.
