people die, then CELEBS die

 

Heath Ledger died today

Ingested a healthy dose of pretty pink pills

A little overboard, a little overdose

They must have paralyzed; a visceral nightmare

 

The man died on his own volition, remembered by anyone with a television

Maybe he decided the good life was too hard

The massage therapist and a housekeeper

Found his naked body, cold; already lifeless

 

Tamara Lane also died today

Riding on her brand new pretty pink bicycle

Wrong place, bad people, wrong time

Her only sin; growing up in urban ghettos

 

Poor girl died, remembered only in statistic

Never knowing that dinner plans had changed

The only thing on her menu

Was pavement; the salty taste of her own blood

 

Drew Sutherland drew his last breath today

Clutching tightly to his pretty pink pocket

Of his most favorite over-starched shirt

He was declined a procedure; experimental. Not necessary

 

A Devote catholic, remembered only by his sons

He could have been saved

If he were born on the other side of Lake Michigan

He died a red blooded American; war veteran

 

Frankie Gutierrez was burned to death

After engine failure from the pretty pink pistons

On the 86’Th Air Division detail, circling Iraq

Died squeezing a picture of his daughter; he never met

 

Remembered only on election years

He leaves behind a grieving widow

And a little girl without a daddy

On his extended tour; it was his birthday

 

Im sorry dear, I have to tell you

Our baby died today

And no-body

Cared

Was pavement;"
