Keough Echoes Elvis

Pressure to impress, perceived ineptitude, kills
Incapable of King imitation, blame plagued eyes
Publicly pressed to deliver sought after replica
Infiltrated by inescapable history Ben despised 

Failed expectation driven prime of life suicide
Hailed Presley descendant, drifted pale ghost
Image Siamesed by status of rock relic
Near half century after legend's last show

Name advantage presented pedestal
Keough's fears disallowed him to use it
Comparisons ping ponged constantly 
Admirers did so in Grandad's perusal


Poverty is struggle, earning the right to survive 

Power's hunger pressure cooked untimely suicide
