Robert William is dead,
Kate ***** is dead,
My best friend is dead,
Who's the culprit?
Suicide.

Mozart,
deaf,
died, eventually.

Picasso, pervert, died; Whitney, Winehouse, drugs, dead; Elvis, Methamphetamine, died

missing an earlobe,
died.

head in an oven,
in front of her kids,

Proprietor of a collection of lackluster poems.

in exchange for a fortune,
gone.
Written to be a spoken word piece
