Fallen idols
(In memory of Bradley)
How sad to learn
you didn’t know any better
After all your lessons
you die of your own warnings
If I could go back
I would warn you
not to stick that needle in
not to pierce your veins
with the poison that’s so passé
You should have known better,
you should have taught us,
shown us the way...
Yet now you are no more
You went from us... not in a blaze
not with dignity or honour
but in a little pool of puke
your spirit that dripped from your mouth
as you travelled into the spirit world
the world of the unknown
For your sake, I hope it is all you wished for
I hope you got what you deserved.
All your words now have bitter underlining
a deeper meaning you never meant
yet now your happiness displays a tragedy
and you have touched my soul
with your stepping razor
We owe you something, but you don´t want it
not anymore…
