Kenny by Steve BabaMy friend Kenny blew his
Head off with a shotgun,
He did it on a humid night
In Honolulu, he was alone,
And he couldnt break
The addiction, so it broke him.
I visit him from time to time
In his urn that sits on a small
Shelf at Los Gatos Cemetery.

Posted by Anne Engelen on 11/16/07 at 12:00 PM I had a couple of friends who chose to end their lives. They didn't use a gun, but it was just as effective. I probably never get the answer to the question why. It's just something one carries along for the rest of one's life. |
