Young Men's Struggles today ~ Joseph Nii Allotey ~

struggling young man had his palm glued to his head by the sweat of his brow

no matter how hard he worked, life always dealt him a fresh blow

Downcast, he surrendered to what he did not know,

nearing the end, every beating heart tends to take it slow.

Struggling young man released a deep sigh

all the while his eyes remained fastened to his left thigh

from the bar stool where he sat, he felt quite 'high'

regretfully he new in a few moments he'd have to say goodbye

Struggling young man swallowed a pill,red or white, he could no longer feel

He knew in phases his life would begin to peel,

His final moments, captured on life's golden reel.
