What were you? A genius or a madman? I thought you said it all so well in your lyrics. I never thought you a God just a man with a talent and I liked to hear the sanity in your words... Did your words bury you? Were you hailed as a king of mankind only to be done in by sheer humanity I watched your impudent slanders as you put high minds in their places. What was sacred Life...just life nought else mattered and as you sang immortality attached itself to your neck they misunderstood you, or were you just a scoundrel skin and bones, you were just a man, after all. |

We are all just humans, flesh and bone, but as humans we have the potential to be so much more. an interesting poem, I take it someone used poetic licensing and coloured the truth. enjoyed the poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" |
