David Ashby Poet Free verse

Wasted Life

He Don’t go outside he’s got too much fear 
He’s brain is fried from weed and Gear 
He’s got no kids and hes got no wife, 
he’s got no friends he’s got no life
He’s got trippy tunes running round he’s mind 
The things he’s lost he’will never find 
He’s 25 but he looks real old 
He’s skin grey and he’s hands are cold 
There’s a shadow running through he’s days 
No purple heart just purple haze 
He can’t change he’s ways can’t win the fight 
He knows it’s wrong but it feels so right 
He can’t find cure he can’t break the spell
He’s passenger on a train to hell 
He’s no good to the world he’s lost he’s way 
He’s a burden on society 
No respect and no concern 
When he walks by the heads will turn 
He’s bodys thin his skin is grey 
He looks like he won’t last the day

Beata Agustin May 23, 2025 at 7:43 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
