The Exclusive Club
In the mountain of music and art
The summit turns into zenith of fame
Some climb to become celebrities
In number of steps that seems ordained.
Feeling the talent getting drained out
There they collapse at the call of fate
Or are intoxicated with elixir of success
Meet the self-imposed end.
The steps measured on the track of time
Spanning twenty seven years
Create something of a mythical aura
Around the icons when they die at 27.
With untimely departure from the scene
The flair immortalized by achievement
In rather romantic circumstances
They enter the exclusive 27 club.
