His Life
His life , so lonely and rough
So wrecked up and tough
Kids in primary , who looked rather nice
Teased him , saying he had lice
Grew up and then went to high school
Had no friends & regarded as uncool
Peers encouraged him to smoke a pack
Said it would help him move out of the shack
His sister got married and was adorned
His brother , an addict , decided to abscond
His family regarded as abominable
Poverty stricken and vulnerable
Accompanied by sorrow , he decided to leave
His mother, a widower , left to grieve
He slowly walked down a messed up path
Where he taught it was God's Wrath
Anguished and scared , he walked to the end
Met strangers in red & had to pretend
this is one of my very old poems:-)
