lost generation (Free verse) by jfconnor
Lost Generation a boy lays in the gutter a needle by his side a life so short a last resort he even lost his pride he lived without a future then died without a life he will never know the happiness of children and a wife they say it will not harm you they say you will feel know pain for they know once you try it that your will be back again for a pusher makes a million he makes it out of sorrow another trip another hit another death tomorrow John Frankie Connor

Up the ladder: now we can
Down the ladder: Melancholia
