We recommend: Storms
in the early morning light
this star fell down
on Sunset Boulevard
young and strong beautiful one
we embraced so close
is gone
was torn away
let the youth of America mourn
include him in their prayers
let his image linger on
repeat it everywhere
with candles, with flowers
he was one of ours
one of ours
why don't you let him be?
he's gone
we know
give his mother and his father peace
your vulture's candor
your casual slander
you murder his memory
he's gone
we
