Monday January 11th
Yesterday David Bowie died
A pall fell over the world
So many hearts shattered at the news
✮
He was only 69 by 2 days
But Cancer had its way
✮
I appreciated him and his life
Yet I was not in His anointed class
They who were strange for the sake of being strange
✮
He was only 69 by 2 days
But cancer had its way
✮
I grew up with him around
As if He were an Uncle, or family friend
One like the stars, always present
✮
He was only 69 by 2 days
But cancer had its way
✮
Just like the Sun blotting out the Stars
Death cannot keep him from us
He is permanent and real
✮
He was only 69 by 2 days
But cancer had its way
✮
I feel deep sorrow for those who worshiped him
Perhaps in death His deification will be set
A new religion is born
A crown of light upon the StarKing adorns
