Ozzy & Sharon Osborne
The Dead Lizard Story
As Jeff sought solace on a serene path following an emotionally draining meeting about a veteran's tragic suicide, he found himself lost in introspection, the melodies of his headphones weaving through his thoughts. Along the way, his gaze fell upon a flattened lizard, its desolate form a silent testament to the passage of time.
​
In the poignant silence, the haunting strains of "Under the Graveyard" by Ozzy Osbourne resonated with eerie clarity. The once vibrant creature, now reduced to parched skin and brittle bones, lay forgotten by all who passed by.
This encounter served as a stark reminder of the profound repercussions of despair. Just as the lizard had faded into obscurity, those who succumb to the darkness of their own minds risk becoming mere echoes of their former selves, overlooked, and disregarded by the world, everything you were, are, and will be fades away.
In that moment, Jeff's thoughts were drawn back to the weighty discussions of the meeting, where the devastating aftermath of suicide loomed large. The sight of the lifeless lizard served as a somber reflection on the fragility of existence, urging him to confront the harsh realities and offer compassion to those battling their own demons.
