[Caprice]

he came up and went down in a flash in my mind. the imprint will stay much longer im sure. something so simple and piled together to create this terrible tragedy. his life will never be the same. his life, if he ever gets it back, will be much different than the way he left it. friends will change, family will change, he will change, but sitting in a state pen, with the raw deal, may make him a much more raw person. my friend, im not sure, he was my neighbor however, a welcoming neighbor with many friends. all of us dont know what to say, except for the inevitable, with that said, we remain quiet about the issue. but in that silence we all know the risks now. and when they hit home, the only steel we're going for, are those bars that hold us back, for years at a time.
