Hell-bend highway

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

" Some folks cannot be saved. In my lifetime. I lost three four brothers to drugs and alcohol. Two committed suicide and today still. We don’t know why? I learn too late to be a friend. Listen, not lecture. Stay in contact with the people, who are struggling. The silence goodbyes will haunt our life. "

My Brother is free..

                      Always torn and never content.

                      Being a regular Joe was not so easy for him.

                      Whiskey and beer dreams.

                      Paradise blinded by dreams seen
                      at the bottom of a empty bottles.

                      We were raised like brother’s.

                       He felt no peace in a normal flow of living.

                       Addiction of life are many.

                       Sex, Booze and money can bring us to 
                       death gate.

                       I prayed for my Brother in living and I pray.

                       You found some sort of peace in death.

                       I wish I listen to you more,

                       I wish I try to understand why the booze
                       brought peace to your life.

                        Now I write wasted words and

                        I will pray you found peace finally.

                     Hell-bend highway

He told me don’t need to hear your shit.

He asked me are you content?
With your rules and compliant.

You conformed to a system that don’t give
a shit about you.

He drink the whiskey straight and
he offered me a cold beer.

I told him.
I know I’m contaminated with B.S.
My mind is diluted with desires and things I don’t need.

But I won’t be condemn to die alone.
Drinking and no-one giving a shit if I’m dead or alive.

He looked at me.
Looking 20 years older then his age.

Whisper Cousin.
It is too late to save me my Brother.

The hell-bend highway

When you get on it,
can’t get off.
