Urban Scenery

The boy just lay there
    eyes dulled, vacant stare
 
  Needles spread all about
    another sprout, its life snuffed out

I lived that life, once upon a time. I wish I had listened to my dad. "You can't miss, what you never try" Luckily I survived. Great to read you again, old friend. I hope all is well with you.

So sad this path was taken - but this happens within all levels of society, whether rich or poor and whatever culture creed or nation, this unfortunate situation is forever present and is, getting worse daily as the numbers rise. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Worse and worse, at least here in America.
