Senseless Death

Living Intelligently From Experience

A Path in the Lives and Experiences of People

as they affect many, taken from

lives past, lives now and lives that will be

Senseless Death

Since a young boy he would try anything at least once

Everything under the Sun,  whatever he wants

Never worried about tomorrow or feared for his life

So often he traumatized his parents and his soon to be wife

Extreme sports like car racing, skate boarding and mountain bike

Libido enhancers like Viagra , coffin, stone, all drugs alike

Even sky dived, bungee jumped and canoed the falls 

Stole electronics from neighbors and scaled their walls

Searched to find treasures beneath the sea

 

Drank tequila all night and during the day whisky

Everything under the Sun, wanting always to fit in

And still when he laughed out loud, in his soul he was crying

Though he died trying anything to make his soul please

He never once tried Jesus, the most awesome of these
