Jim Morrison -- Death of a Rock

JIM MORRISON--DEATH OF A ROCK There's a man all alone and his name is well known but he thinks all the world is a den of the poor and the weak and the too dead to speak for themselves, it's a game they can't win. He's a little bit high and he'll be til we die it's too bad that his heart is so black, but he knows how to sing to a crowd and to bring out the love that they've been holding back. It's a game that he plays with your life and he stays just as long as the music goes on, and he'll make you to smile if it's only a while, then he goes where the devil has gone. All the girls that he's had think it's not all that bad but the glitter's too much for their mind so they leave him to sleep where no angel would keep anyone for there's not one to find. He could write every word of the songs we have heard and he's led every daughter astray to be part of his past and a love that won't last and he lights every fire in his way.. Now he looks for the cause of the reason he was as he died he's still misunderstood, but the dream's been too dead for too long in his head, and he rode out the storm as he should.

Yes, he was more poet than anything in my opinion.

I am a huge fan of the late Jim Morrison. Very expressed, only to God his real depth was known, atleast he didn't live to see the times today, what's the difference, in society today. Really appreciated your words, I have read your poetry but very shy to remark on it, because I fear I look like a goof, Cindy Lu

ha ha Cindy Lu, it is cool to look like a goof sometimes, I do it on purpose a lot just to get attention. Jim Morrison, besides his great music, was also one of the greatest poets to ever live. Thanx.
