Rest In Peace Mozart

Dispatch you, officer. 
For you were to rescue me
Just twenty five years ago. 

Yet with your allusiveness
and all, I am not so
Convinced. 

Sirens still linger 
in these streets, though. 
As I wait for your arrival. 

I am afraid, though, 
It is too late for 
Safety's sake.

And yes, you were once my
Hero, but like Salieri, 
I too burned your icon.
