A friend I knew just yesterday <br />Told me things I’d never heard him say, <br />He spoke of things so badly, <br />His dreams were paid by wages. <br />His hopes were spoilt for women. <br />His thirst required drinking. <br /> <br />As life continued, day-by-day, <br />I no-longer heard what he had to say, <br />He had spoken too familiarly. <br />His daze released my adversary <br />His nights required a rival. <br />His life became the warning.<br /><br />R.J.
