Marary Rarara Poet I do not know?

In Memory of James Owen Sullivan

He's gone.
Death has stolen him
Where has he been hidden?
I search and search
But cannot find him
It won't be the same without him!
What have you done, death?
You've taken the wrong person!
Take me instead, and spare him
For everyone needs him more than me
Pry his drumsticks from my dead hands
And give them to him
For he needs to live on
To make beautiful music
For the fans who miss him so.


(NOTE: I've written this poem in memory of my favorite drummer, and my favorite band. 
James 'Jimmy' Owen Sullivan, Aka The Rev, died on the 28th around 1pm. He was the 
drummer and backup vocalist of the band Avenged Sevenfold. The cause of death at the 
moment is natural causes. Is it just me or is it kind of odd that he died on the 28th and he 
was 28 years old?)

Andrea Dietrich December 30, 2009 at 10:39 AM I don't know of this drummer or band, but I liked what you said in your tribute poem. I feel you adulation! And by the way, numbers ARE very important. I am into numerology and I bet there is significance in those numbers ou gave. Did you know Mark Twain was born with the comet (which only comes every 76 years or so) and he predicted he would die again with Haley's comet, and he did!! andrea

Sara Kendrick December 30, 2009 at 4:13 AM Nice tribute to this young man. Not familiar with the name of the band or him. Sorry for the loss of someone that you seemed to care about and feel for his family and friends. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
