Yet another
Young life
Gone too soon
More candles lit
And flowers
Now strewn
Lest we forget
What an impact
It has
When the world
Watches on
But ignores red flags
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Yet another
Young life
Gone too soon
More candles lit
And flowers
Now strewn
Lest we forget
What an impact
It has
When the world
Watches on
But ignores red flags
Something of a hero
In your teens
The subject of many
Young girls dreams
Yet here you are now
Bloated and aging
With that yellowing skin
And cholesterol raging
So it’s hard to see you
As you once were
When that rakish charm
Caused quite the stir
Yet it’s not really you
That I feel sorry for
It’s all those young girls
Who don’t dream anymore
If
we
are
all
supposed
to be
stars
Why
do
some
shine
brighter
than
others?
Can
you
turn
it
down
please
Or
better
still
Just
switch
it
off
I
can’t
watch
these
pricks
Vie
for
‘fame’
Like
pigs
at
the
trough
