A poem if you please - Why do the good ones die so young?
Why do the good ones die so young?
Our children who show us truth?
Martin Luther King was barely born
Malcolm was hardly more than a teen
John Kennedy was the hope of toddlers like me
why were these soul beauties felled?

Kemphra showed us a beauty of his soul
Nostamj blazed a talent to light our way
Now we mourn our young geniuses who blazed the way
To illuminate our souls
We cry for them; we watch; they are our stars.
We must continue.
