In memory of brothers Jacques and Torin Lakeman who tragically died together in December 2014 after taking drugs purchased off the web ... the level of toxicity of these drugs was lethal
Two pairs of scuffed sports shoes
Remain where they were kicked off on the bedroom floor
Never to be worn again
Two brothers playing football in heaven
But their footwear remains here on earth
As do their broken hearted parents
I wonder about the supplier of the drugs that killed them ...
Would he like to be in their shoes now?
