HEY, SEEN THE PAPER?

HEY, SEEN THE PAPER?

 

Do you remember,
Whas’is fuckin name?
You know the one.
Took out that trench,
Killed the fuckin lot.

Course you fuckin do.
Never bought a fucking round.
Good bloke, but tight by God.
Hands too deep for his pockets
Got a bloody medal for it, the fucking trench.

Saw his name in the paper today.
Wife, two kids, girl at Uni.
Silly bastard’s gone and topped is self.
Couldn’t cope it seems.
Kept seeing the fucking dead.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Death can take a long time.It sometimes can take years before you realise you are dead.
The lucky ones go quick.
Like a cancer it destroys the brain.
Torturing your family in the process
