Another Death Is In the News

Another death is in the news
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author
& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet

Another death is in the news.
Attracting lots of different views!
None from me, I cannot lie.
As none will hear when I die.
My claim to fame is none.
A star of stage or film is not this one.
Now, yet another star does go.
I’m sure paradise, soon will overflow.
Judge not here on Earth when someone dies.
Speak not bad things about their lives.
For as sure as night follows the day!
You will be the one of whom folk say.
Something not nice on your last day!
As we all will sometime go that way.
I know not when, I know not why.
All I do know we all. 
Sometime will die!
