He wanted this to be his first contribution, I haven’t got his section set up on the website yet but this is too important to delay.
The greatest would approve of this.
The fight back started when Gilford ABC had a mental resilience night with Spug Stevenson
Suicide you f£&king horrible b:;()d .
You’ve struck again ,raised your f()king ugly head.
Destroyed a persons life ,family and friends. A village a town a district with a big void to fill.
Yes you ugly bastard you’ve got your thrill.
Now we have to stop the madness we have to say no .
For our young people’s insanity it’s starting to show .
What we do next I’m am not so sure,
But we start by sharing our feelings ,
I know it’s not a cure.
So people of power quit talking your shite .
We the people we are starting to fight .
Another young life so tragically gone another young family so broken and torn.
The communitys spirit so angry, and cross sad of the fact we have another one lost.
But Suicide you ugly bastard you will not win. Our young people will learn about this horrible thing .
We will cherish the memories of all that have past .
We will keep strong and make this the last , Suicide you bastard you horrible thing. We the people will definitely win .
To all that have lost the battle. We will win the war.
we both didn’t want to edit anything because it was how Bernard felt and wrote at a certain moment in time. He wrote of the cuff from the heart and in minutes like Ali with the rhyming.
Very fitting.
Bernard has came out fighting like the champion he is and always will be.
I am sure the people of Gilford will do the same.
