Club 27
"Money is the root of evil",
but who is to question those who pocket from young minds,
as they drown themselves in liquor,
exhausting their strength to perform, show up and carry on?
Beauty compliments a sex appeal,
all those who have made it,
have become somewhat surreal to who they could actually be.
The abuse of power had nothing to do with their utmost desires to become the greatest,
led astray by those who have pressured those too young to make it out on their own.
Farewell to those who have bared their hearts for our ears,
to ease our minds off life's lessons in defeat.
Farewell to the beautiful minds,
fractured hearts and cheerful souls,
R.I.P to the 27 Club.
