Jimmy was bitter man,
highly disillusioned with society.
He hated his job and hated his life,
but he mostly hated sobriety.
He often thought of suicide
but he lacked the fortitude,
so he settled for a drink and a smoke
and a quiet place to brood.
He could only face the world
through a haze of alcohol.
through a haze of alcohol.
He had a wife and children
but he made strangers of them all.
One might say that over time
he really did kill himself.
The box of his ashes remains unclaimed
on a mortuary shelf. - Jeff Barnes
