Remembering A Friend Who Succumbed To Drugs Poem by Umasree Raghunath

A friend lost his life in an unknown shore
was let to rot and kept to call in place unheard
Always wanted people to call him VJ
that's how his signed his SMSs too
He spoke to me for hours about his wife
he loved them like no one really could
all his talk and thoughts were on his child
who unfortunately could not see him dead
He always wanted his friends to call and come
to see him, to talk to him and dine with hi
Friends avoided for his wife never liked
and his wishes remained unfulfilled
He wanted to take his family on tours abroad
show them the word of happiness he dream
He wanted to get back his lost career
forget drugs, forget friends and forgive foes
Start a life afresh, with his own kith and kin
Before anything materialized, he left to shores unknown
He always had his doubts and fear
Same way he died with no one near
not a soul to shed a sincere tear
oh god, what else this friend can ask
you for, for this poor lost soul
Than the peace for his eternal soul
Bid adieu with tears dead friend
only wish no one gets succumbed to drugs to end
Precious life that matter so much
than the deeper sleeps drug provide!
May his soul Rest in Peace!
