A Monument Is Death To a Famous Icon

Just as the pyramids are famous cones And dinosaurs are famous bones Just as diamond are famous stones We shall live forever as famous skeletons Death is never far It’s a closer than the closest star It’s a short trip down to the spar More tangible than a foetus in a jar Just as a plastic surgeon knows a nose The lie of a high of an accidental overdose Just as a heatbeat echoes a pulse Death's dilemma lies in a comatose Just as an anointed king to the throne Lives forever like a nuclear powered drone It’s the size of blood clot in a vein A monument is death to a famous icon
