Guns & Roses

An ode to Kurt Cobain and various friends of mine that took his route to escape life (yes, I know Axl is the frontman of GnR's... but just read the poem!)

 

Just arrived and unpacked - fresh out the box,

Hope in the eyes of a babe

Nowhere to go but just stay put

Though ignorance was bliss until reality made

 

Simple pleasures brought forth so minimal

Drugs, sex, rock n roll

Sustained a life optimal

 

Issues of late... issues of hate

‘Tis what keeps me from my fate...

 

Naught to see but a bright light

While two tunnels stare back at me

Disrupting this vision

Of life’s constant delusion

Too big and beyond my own comprehension

 

Silent hours of solitude

When I’m laid bare and vulnerable

Appreciating his efforts made...  

Plausible.

It is sad that this seems the only way out...but I suppose sometimes that is the case. The loss of talent is immense. You have captured this feel very nicely in this piece.

Thank you :)
I cannot grasp that moment they do it...

To some, fame isn't all it is cracked up to be. It can be a huge weight that crushes them.

[Alani]

Thank you :)
I was thinking of changing the title... not knowing if anyone would get it... but you have. I will keep it! Thank you!!

[A. Amos]

You're most welcome

Life can be all roses at one point... but then with slight disappointments and delusions made real, people use guns to fix things..
The title is used in an ironical way... for those who do not get it.
