"Tony"

And as the young man gets his diploma he stands, and pauses

a moment to gaze into his Mind.

To think thoughts of, what in his Future life he shall find.

Years for him roll swiftly on by.

So fast do they travel, that at each defeat he doesn't permit himself to cry.

He looks around with resentment at the success of his Pals.

His thoughts of jealousy consume his life, when he realized he has not their wow's.

He starts to live a perpetrated lie.

So his friends will think he has achieved the American Dream High.

This righteous man continues down his self destructive Road.

But as a satisfied member of a mind truly Bowed.

At last the day of reckoning arrives.

For the man discovers he does not possess many lives.

Today, he hits the bottle to try and drown what is real.

But the booze only offers a temporary sanctuary to what he has come to feel.

Yes much pain and sorrow in this world today and when peole lose faith, hope, belief the next thing is relief. Some the bottle, some drugs, some drop out. Yes Love of neighbor, only words to many. Good poem
