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:-)
