Protecting You: Sonnets For Life

“A must reading for any child who does
Not want to grow up believing that all
There is to life are drugs and booze to buzz
And narcotize himself for fun, and fall
For needle injections and human di-
Sections after the self inflicted a-
Buse has been done, and is soon to die,
(As soon after the most expensive a-
Ttempts have been paid to revive him or her.)
Adults, too, can benefit, if they be-
Leave that there is more to Life that can stir
Them than taxes, drugs, hate, and slavery.
Get to the root—
Don’t mask the cause that’s ailin’!
Best Life Wishes,
Timothy Ross Whelan.”
