Remembrance - For Stephen D.

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Kathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
Looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from his cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie...I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother...
