Array ( [sid] => 110197 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => D.O.A [time] => 2005-11-22 16:06:31 [hometext] => I grew up in a rough neighbourhood, and got out. Others weren't so lucky...I actually wrote this over a month ago, but some sad news today prompted me to post this. [bodytext] => The trip of a lifetime
the end of your lifeline
A deadly blow to your solar plexus
impeding vital heart to lung nexus

You only wanted to vent
but payback was more permanent
Hooked up to a breathing apparatus
his heart stops; code blue status

Ambulance attendants tried to intervene
but your spirit already fled the scene
Rocketing through the tunnel of light
shot over fifty bucks, your final plight



Dedicated to: Azim, Chief, Candy, Stretch, Pops, Indy, Goldy, Frenchie, Rolex, and Junior...to name a few.

OMG, Scorperiffic, this is a heart wrenching tear jerker. So sad and powerful. Your talent never fails to exceed itself. Yes, a very very sad write but awesome nonetheless.

Admittedly it makes one wonder what type of news you got today to inspire posting it today instead of a month ago.

Must have been horrible.

*MAJOR HUGE HUG*

So you have the rough background - that's where you get that fiest lol. I think that particular surrounding has it's good sides though, I know it did for myself. While I'm well aware it has it's bad effects as well. Another heartfelt write scorpz. I think we make decisions that at that time seem most wise, but the consequences prove otherwise. A very truthful write, your emotion was quite profound, and my deepest sympathies for your loss. I can't wait to see more from you.

A tragedy dearest Scorp, the smallest quarrels can be tragic. Prayers to you and those who got away. The Lord protects.... He has reasons for these happenings, and I am so sorry.... Better times ahead... its hard to say the right things.. My heart goes out to you nd the whole world....Raquel Leah

Impressive piece of work here, sweetie. wow. Your words are

My Thoughts and Prayers to You,
The Victims and Their Families Scorp-

...and the bell tolls, metaphorically
in the form of the single most powerful
and driving force, (self destruction) continues... a means to an end.

Ya got me thinking.. and a bit ((rattled)) as well-

Peace to You Scorp.. and Throughout-

B

Sad news indeed. Your capture of the" is" of life rings loud. The senseless loss and crazy no value attitude I can not ever comprehend.
What a write. The more thought I give it, the deeper I go, the more anger and pain surfaces.

we never know when we wake up what will
happen that day; though so sad this is one of
your most heartfelt writes i've ever read, the
poem itself is perfection, but the feelings and
inner you in it are what impresses, you went
deep down inside to pull this one out and it
shows and is truly beautiful,

big hugs n' love nessa
