Eulogy of the Virgin Janis

"Time keeps moving on, Friends they turn away, Lordy Lord Well, I keep moving on But I never found out why I keep pushing so hard a dream, I keep trying to make it right Through another lonely day." —“Kozmic Blues” by Janis Joplin Keep moving, you kept it moving your way Janis Had a dream that your words could become an anthem, Janis Picked up that microphone An extension of your body power house The electric cord your vocals Cry baby Bobby McGee Sing to him Cry, McGee for what you lost What he gave up so we’d mourn You made us feel your ache for the world and your soul Acid queen captured trapped in between right and wrong The golden squawking of your strained voice Haunting pleading lyrics that made you shed real tears and push past your fears breaking building staying going places they wouldn’t as you grew your words to those on a downward journey yet the ones above secretly listened for them your pleads for humanity to love accept and be tolerant when remembering a beautiful traveling, lost, crying acid Queen You were a goddess, Janis
