[hometext] => No doubt many of you will disagree with what I've written here about the demise of popstar Amy Winehouse.However,I will always maintain that drug abuse is a choice. My cousin died at just 19 with liver failure, she had no choices.
[bodytext] => The old familiar resurfaces in tabloid sensationalist prose Same set and story, different star cast into the central role A life barely lived they say, yet bloated with excess and the trappings of celebrity Another fatal crash from the fast lane because fast was not quick enough I could play the pity game, shed crocodile tears for a stranger Defend a helpless victim, misunderstood by all but closest friends Weep for a flame blown out long before the candle should have dimmed Make claims of innocence, cite cloaked corruption as the cause Is fame such a blemish on society, does it force the mind to crumble? Unhooked from reality, the battle is a war fought unarmed but already lost For those who choose this path to adoration, remember untimely death is a leveller Drug abuse is still a choice, not a lifestyle pre-ordained. There are those on this earth whose hands are tied, where option overlooked The starving mouths from the ragged lands, the helpless chewed up by disease For the self induced I can only grieve, not for the life cut short But for those things lost that should never have gone, reality and sense.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
