WAKE
Ray Finch
Black ties white shirts best suits
Buffet plates great mates good roots
Great bloke, didn’t smoke
Had a drink, didn’t think
Much too late, he hit the brake
Speeding car, no control
Police out, on patrol
Sirens on, a dui
No time, to say goodbye
Angels waiting, in the sky
Another life, passes by
Black ties white shirts best suits
Buffet plates great mates good roots
Envied him, he went so far
Never famous, but still a star
Never again, will I ever see
This guy, always next to me
Many times we disagreed
But family plants, the bonding seeds
One great guy, what can I say
Rain or shine, or come what may
We will meet, another day
Black ties white shirts best suits
Buffet plates great mates good roots

such a sad, part
of our commonly experienced
everyday, reality..
and seemingly, no amount
of adverts, campaigns
school speaker efforts
can curb those morbidly
ever-rising numbers
year on year...
just one more, costly 'plague'
to add to our societal, list...
(thanks for sharing
really well written)
Thank you for your comments
Yes unfortunately a tragedy that happens much to often
