Almost everyone
in Bones life
played him dirty,
except for us,
his street family.  

When he was
so brutally murdered
by a group of his clients,
we truly mourned for him.  

It wasn’t fake mourning
to make a grotesque,
and phony show
of ourselves,
it was real.

A horrifically tragic ending for a very brave soul. He endured more in his short lifetime, than one could ever imagine.

I can appreciate the closeness of those in the streets and that when a comrade has fallen, all gather 'round and mourn his loss. Bones was special. He was a surviver ~ until his life was brutally taken from him.

Bobby - I'm wondering about who Bones clients were that would do this. However, I think I know, but not sure...

Thanks Bill,

For your insightful question.  

They were selfish, thoughtless, and brutal people that were only interested in their own gratification.
