Boy I Know (Free verse) by Goose
25 going on 26 Smart as a whip and shoots from the hip Could be anything he wants doctor,lawyer,scientist He would just rather sit and gather dust He doesn't trust the way he thinks So he drinks to much and gets stoned and is all alone Except for the folks who are nothing but jokes themselves it is so sad how a promising life can go so bad

Up the ladder: Mystery on the Bridge
Down the ladder: Beliefs?

Yuo are discribing every ding-dong on this site. Including me, though I am feminine and old. Of course we do have one or two Phd.s hanging about, but they are expert in ideas and words. Hah. As if that where something worthwhile. They can't fill a cavity or a prescription. They can come at you with words,and words and even more words. No cure. Quite the contrary, they breed schizophrenia in this weak culture of ours. Subversives. Spending untold thousands just to toss around the acedemic ball. You're friend has promised nothing, and owes nothing. It's 'too' not 'to' in line 7. Your poem smacks of judgement, and righteuos indignation, Pee-you

As your husband wrote in the greatest of all books...Judge not lest ye be judged.
