E
William Bough
Young life, future moulding,
Young mind, dreams holding,
Curiosity kills the cat,
Eighteen, invincible, won't consider that.
College study, pressure begun,
Night-clubs, pub fun,
Take pill, drink more,
Know the facts, know the score.
Mind expands, energy rises,
Death comes in all sizes,
Thoughts confused, brain explodes,
Cells die, tissue corrodes.
Lying still, hospital bed,
Nothing happening in the head,
Machine breathes, soul leaves,
Nothing to do, mother grieves.
Decisions made, switches off,
Chest falls, last cough,
Wasted life, lost destiny,
All in search of ecstasy.
