John Wayne Brown III

DEDICATED TO JOHN W. BROWN (1970-2019) WHO DIED ON JUNE 3, 2019.

I've always said no to drugs but my friend didn't do the same.

When a person dies of an overdose, it's always a damn shame.

John learned the hard way that a man reaps what he sews.

Every time drugs were offered to him, I wish he had said no.

I'm not certain what he overdosed on, it may have been Meth.

When my friend of forty years overdosed, he drew his last breath.

I recently read that Meth damages the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and brain.

John might have rejected Meth if that was something he could've ascertained.

Years ago, I tried to convince him to get some help but my words always fell on deaf ears.

He was forty-eight but if he had said no to drugs, he could've lived for many more years.

Painful to read. But even such a seeming waste of life can lead to learning, if only for others.
