One Thin Line
He avoided it like the plague
Through high school
And even through college
Staying “clean”
Was a tough choice
Especially in the 80’s
When “sex, drugs, and rock and roll”
Was more than just a slogan
For so many
It was simply a way of life
Last night
At a small party
At the house of a friend
40 years of curiosity
Faded into one careless action
With a single line of cocaine
Unknowingly laced with Fentanyl
Last night
The life of a husband, father
And a close friend
Ended
As Daniel collapsed upon the floor
One thin line
That cost all of us
Far too much

No, this isn't fiction. I am tired of losing those I love to drugs and alcohol
There is a book on my author's page "From the Pill to the Bottle to You"
