Who Does Jay Help
When Dee threw his back out again
Jay was his right-hand man.
Good deeds from a Christian brother -
Love one another.
Jay would drive Dee to therapy -
faith, hope and charity.
Jay did shopping; my, what a friend!
A straw in the wind.
Pain pills missing; this is not cool,
missing the Golden Rule
Jay helped himself as he helped Dee
getting high for free.
Dee had to end Jay’s free-wheeling;
would that stop the stealing?
A bigger question arises -
opioid crisis.
