Written in memory of my brother who died from substance abuse/addiction}
All around me, I see the starving souls... full of anguish and fear. I see minds and bodies warped by "the stranger" , disguised and proffered as medicine. Jackals on every corner... licking the remnants of another promise from their hands...
So much pain I see in their faces... so distant and removed from joy. The life light is but a shadow of what once was, the pyre burns, the flames licking each regret.... but never drying the tears.
The innocent lust for life...supplanted by the the pale mirror of a stolen conscience. They walk the dark and lonely streets... pretending that each day won't be their last.
How very regretful, Gregory. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. My youngest brother is walking the same road. So many people on that dark road. I appreciate your heartfelt tribute to your precious brother. Thank you for allowing us to share in your grief. Love and peace to you, dearest man.
