What a waste is death

from JoeUser Forums
Dedicated to the young man found dead in off campus apartments. I didn't even know his name...

You feel, much more
so sad, it seems
to lose, the boy
all his hopes, all his dreams

His loss, was there
announced to all
sort of strange how
we never really saw the fall

It's life, or death
and the infinite in-between
and I can feel
the pain that some have seen.

You think, you know
it hurts inside
you didn't know who he was
but you know that he died

What a waste is death
what a fucking waste.
Death is such a lonely word
I didn't even know his name.

wow, thats so terrible... (what happened that is) it seems that you never know how short life is until you realize something like this; don't see that you could be gone in the next instant. I'm sure that the young man's family would apprieciate this dedication Al, if they read it...
some things in this world are just so sudden-

That's so horrible. I believe we should all learn to appriciate our life. But then again some people say don't be sad that they passed, but be happy for the life that they once had. I personally can't look at it like that though. Dealing with death has been really rough around my neck of the woods lately.

Did he do it himself?....It's a waste either way....the young aren't supposed to die....*sigh*...try to get this in the college paper(if they have one) if you can.

Cause of death at this point is unknown, but there is no evidence of foul play or trauma. What happens in the next few days will certainly affect the campus moral. I'll try to keep you updated, I'm just so busy.
