Sixty Thousand Plus Names On Drug Death Wall Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

Two days in the row
I met two distressed mothers
Who mourned their daughters.

It's early morning
They sobbed and cried their hearts out
When they shared sad news.

Daughters died by drugs
In their attempts to get high
They both lost their lives.

Just last year alone
Sixty thousand plus people
Lost their precious lives.

Drug Wall with death names
Longer than Vietnam War Wall
Erected each year.
