YOU WON IN THE END....

My fingernails nearly snapped into the bench, Listening to that vicar lie in every sentence, Blessed lucky and faith, Words spoken in the same breath as your name, As tears rollled down my cheeks, It was bad enough to barley have a seat, To my fathers final week, My sisters breathless cries, Peircing eyes, ''family'' looking to gain from your demise, Weak speeches and half hearted screeches, Bastards and bitches, Hunting non existant riches, You were addicted, So every penny earnt just drifted, To the bottom of the bottle you lifted, To your lips, And i dont blame you, These are the facts....., You won in the end dad.....

◄ ARE WE ALREADY DEAD?....

Yosh you certainly captured the scene.I agree with Winston most of us have all been there and wondered who in the world are they talking about. Good work.

Crickey thisis strong heartfelt stuff. really liked it. there is a contradiction between the rare times we go to a church (weddings / funerals) and our everyday lack of faith. And also between the mock sincerity and genuine greiving of friends and "family" at funerals. I have experienced this and it comes across powerfully in your piece. Win
