Mar 2016
She died aged thirty
Because
She thought
Intensely.
She
Applied her Mind
To the study
Of mankind, existence
And
Her own reality.
She
Wrote and wrote
Studied and studied.
Thirty years passed
Then
She collapsed,
Leaving
Behind her speculations,
Contemplations,
Musings on so much,
An impressive body
Of work.

Her demise
Was
Due to self-neclect.
You see
She was predominantly cerebral
Feeding
Her mind
To the detriment
Of
The rest
Of her
Being.
She
Became emaciated
Grew
Weaker, and weaker till
She expired.
So much
Was the power of her mind.
